Manny Pacquiao is close to his last dance – don’t miss his next fight

The Independent  

Rarely has an athlete so consistently produced heaps of charisma, excellence and thrills as Manny Pacquiao. The American’s eye injury scuppered perhaps the fight of the year between arguably the two best welterweights on the planet – though Terence Crawford, biding his time on the other side of boxing’s promotional street, would vehemently dispute that. If the marvellous Floyd Mayweather Jr proved himself to be domineering over the last two decades, then Pacquiao emerged as the people’s champion due to his signature electric style as well as a hint of vulnerability – as brutally exposed by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. Ugas, who was denied via split decision against former world champion Shawn Porter, may seize the day, as did Andy Ruiz Jr as a replacement to fight Anthony Joshua back in 2019. Mayweather Jr’s greatness is indisputable but since the American outclassed Pacquiao in 2015, he has fought MMA superstar Conor McGregor, a Japanese kickboxer and YouTuber Logan Paul.
