    Would beating Barrios for the title at 46 boost him in your all time P4P rankings in any way?

    Wait, what? Pacquiao is fighting for a title? Like a real title, not some weird interim regular IBA kind of thing?

    Yes, Pacquiao will be attempting to win the WBC welterweight world title against Barrios.

    Regarding the topic question, I think Pacquiao will remain one of the greatest boxers of all time, win or lose tonight.

    I think there is no reason why Pacquiao winning shouldn't boost him at least slightly considering his age also.

    I’m quite literally praying for him, I don’t pray often, I don’t believe it but if there is a above 0% chance it helps I’m doing it, Pacs a godly man he’d appreciate it. I want Pac-Man to win so badly and if he winds up on some insane PED fueled comeback for even one more bout I will travel to the beautiful US of A and see his very next fight. COME ON MANNY!

    This might be the greatest win of all time if it happens.

    Pacquiao is retired for 4 years on a loss. He is a natural bantamweight. Him coming back at 46 and beating the WBC champ at welterweight is the type of stuff you see in movies. Unfortunately he'll get his ass kicked and I can only hope he walks out of there alive.

    Lol what. Mario Barrios is in no way Pacquiao's best win - Pacquiao could be 376 and it wouldn't be his best win - and a natural bantamweight? Lmao, he didn't even fight at Bantam and was clearly huge at 122, 126, and 130. Pacquiao is a natural 135er at the lowest.

    Win lose or draw, Pac's status has already been solidified. He is truly a generational fighter but a win today would just be another notch in an exceptional career.

    Today should be a great day of boxing with Pac fighting and of course, Uysk.

    How has he got a title shot?
    I don't think he's fought for a few years?
