Manny Pacquiao’s return to the ring at the age of 46 is getting closer and closer, and although many fans and experts in the field are against the Filipino’s decision, there are some others who support the former multiple world champion.
One of the greatest legends of boxing, Sugar Ray Leonard, is one of those who is eager to see Pacquiao back in the ring.

The Filipino will face WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on July 19 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, in what will be his first fight since losing to Yordenis Ugas in 2021.

The biggest concern about Pacquiao’s return is the age difference between the two fighters, which is 16 years, as Barrios is 30 years old compared to Pac Man’s 46, in addition to the prolonged time away from the sport while serving as a senator in the Philippines.
Sugar Ray Leonard’s support for Pacquiao
Ray Leonard, widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, told TMZ that none of the concerns matter, because Pacquiao can and will do whatever he wants… and he’s totally in favor of it.
“There’s nothing that really makes people understand why we do what we do,” Sugar said. “But you know what, God bless you, take care of yourself and stay healthy”.
It should be remembered that Ray Leonard retired from boxing and returned to the ring at the age of 40 to face Hector “Macho” Camacho in 1997 after a six-year retirement from boxing.
“I’ve come back more times than anyone. I have the undisputed record,” Ray Leonard joked, and it seems that now Pacquiao wants to follow in his footsteps.

2025 NFL defensive line rankings ahead of Week 7: Browns continue to lead the way
Steelers defensive line dominates the Browns: The Steelers’ pass-rush trio of Nick Herbig, Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt overwhelmed the Browns’ offensive line and rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel throughout the game. With Cleveland frequently leaving its tackles on islands, Watt posted his best outing of the season, earning an 87.1 overall grade. Highsmith made a strong return to action with an 84.6, but it was Herbig who stole the show with his 94.8 grade, the highest of any defensive player in the NFL for the week. The Broncos continue to pace the league in total pressures: Nik Bonitto leads the way with 25 pressures and also tops the NFL with eight sacks. Jonathan Cooper and Zach Allen aren’t far behind, with 21 and 20 pressures, respectively. The defensive line is the heart of any successful defense, tasked with both disrupting […]
Energie reaguje na zranění Redlicha, na hostování přichází posila z Kladna
„Kuba je pro trenérský štáb známý hráč. Pavel Patera ho trénoval (v Kladně a Mladé Boleslavi - pozn. aut.) a zapadá mu do systému a do role, pro kterou ho bereme. Jsme rádi, že jsme se domluvili s Kladnem v tomto časovém presu. Při počtu zraněných hráčů, které momentálně máme, to pro nás bylo rychlé a dostupné řešení v rámci hokejového trhu,“ říká sportovní ředitel Karlových Varů Jiří Kalous.Strnad v aktuální sezoně nastoupil za Rytíře k sedmi zápasů a nebodoval. Kladenský odchovanec v nejvyšší soutěži odehrál za Kladno, Spartu, Mladou Boleslav a České Budějovice celkem 373 utkání s bilancí 36 gólů a 38 asistencí.Dres Energie by měl poprvé obléknout už v pátek při domácím střetnutí s posledním Litvínovem.
