Hearn is not happy because the 46-year-old Pacquiao blocks his plans to establish a fight for unification between IBF and WBA 147-LB champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Barrios. He points out that Pacquiao “Anywhere near the world level” After being inactive since 2021. It is just an example of the direction that sport moves.

Boxing becomes wwe?

Former heavyweight UFC champion Francis Ngannou should not have been allowed to fight Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in his first and second struggle of his professional career. It was still allowed to happen. Terrencea Crawford should not be allowed to jump into two skip categories to skip the front of the line to cause Canela Alvarez for his unrivaled Summer Middle Category Championship. You hate to say that, but the box turns into wwe, where anything goes.

“All are champions on the radar of boots. I still think it is bizarre. I still think it is bizarre that Manny Pacquiao is fighting for the world title. Five years more than the ring, and more close to the world level. But it’s boxing, and that’s the job, and we understand Eddie Hearn Fixresponding to Manny Pacquiao, who was retirement to cause WBC champion in the velter category Mario Barrios 19 July.

Barrios is vulnerable enough to lose Pacquiao. If the Philippine star is somewhere near the level of 2019 when he beat Keith Thurman, he will be too much for Barrios. The 29-year-old is raised to a full WBC from 147 LB outside the ring.

Barrios did not win his belt in the traditional way. Initially, he recorded a temporary title of WBC by a unanimous decision in a 12-round over Yodenis, which came down with long release, an eye injury and a loss of Errol Spence.
