to encourage a legend to come back. Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) came up with such an idea some time ago. The nearly 46-year-old Filipino, inactive since August 2021, is targeting Mario Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) in such a title fight.
The 29-year-old was previously the interim WBC champion, but his status changed after Crawford's decision. Such a decision could be the reason for Pac-Man's return, and it's one that Barrios himself is very much looking forward to.
"I will be very excited to make this fight. Manny is a future member of the Hall of Fame and a true boxing legend, so it will be an honor to share the ring with him. Another dream of mine could come true," Barrios said in anticipation.
