Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Gervonta Davis, but he's got a condition. The 46-year-old boxing legend says Davis needs to come up to 145-147 pounds if they're going to face off.
Pacquiao's still in the game, and he's not slowing down. He just had a majority draw against Mario Barrios, a fight many think he should've won. The WBC even ranks him as their number one welterweight contender, though that's stirred up some debate.
"If he wants, then let him go up to 147 and we can fight... 145 maybe," Pacquiao said about Davis. "That's not a problem for me, because I'm an experienced fighter."
It's a big ask for Davis. He usually fights at lower weights, and moving up to welterweight would be tough. But Davis is known for his explosive power, so it could make for an exciting match-up.
Pacquiao showed he's still got it in the Barrios fight. His speed, pace, and stamina were on full display. He hasn't won a fight since 2019, but he's not ready to hang up his gloves just yet.
If the Davis fight doesn't happen, Pacquiao's got other options. He could take on Rolly Romero, the current WBA welterweight champ. Romero's young and aggressive, but Pacquiao's experience could give him the edge.
Barrios says he's up for a rematch, but Pacquiao doesn't see the point. He's looking ahead, aiming to keep making history in the ring.
The ball's in Davis' court now. Will he take the challenge and move up in weight? Or will Pacquiao find another opponent? Either way, it looks like we'll see the Filipino legend back in action soon.
