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.
Luis Enrique’s words after French Cup title: ‘We’re ready to make history’
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.

Kulich odpověděl na kritiku trenéra a otevřel si střelecký účet v nové sezoně
Buffalo začalo sezonu třemi prohrami, ve kterých vstřelilo jen dva góly. Trenér Ruff kritizoval po poslední porážce výkony týmu a jmenovitě právě Kulicha, o kterém pronesl, že musí hrát lépe. Kouč vytýkal českému útočníkovi zejména bruslení a spekulovalo se, zda nebude Kulich sledovat zápas proti Ottawě z tribuny. Ruff nakonec ponechal českého hráče v sestavě a svůj krok vysvětlil tím, že je zvědavý, jak Kulich zareaguje na jeho slova.Buffalo získalo rozhodující trhák v rozmezí 27. až 34. minuty, když otočilo čtyřmi góly z 1:2 na 5:2. Ottawa ještě snížila úvodu třetí třetiny na rozdíl jedné branky, ale už ve 44. minutě prohrávala 4:7. Poslední slovo měl Kulich, který nadvakrát prostřelil bránícího hráče a pojistil první výhru týmu v sezoně. Český útočník figuroval v zápase ale taky u tří inkasovaných gólů a připsal si dva záporné body do statistiky +/-.Podrobnosti připravujeme…NHL:Detroit - Florida 4:1Buffalo - Ottawa 8:4

4 Takeaways From the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 3 Win Over the Mariners
The Mariners boarded their charter flight back to Seattle in high spirits. After winning two games on the road, they were in an ideal position, needing to lock down just two more victories to advance to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. Returning to T-Mobile Park, the M’s could practically taste the Fall Classic.Not so fast.The Blue Jays stormed back and delivered a thundering statement by slugging five home runs — with three of them coming off Mariners' starter George Kirby. The Mariners finished the game with three homers (the combined eight HRs tied a postseason record for a game), but the Jays took the home crowd out of the game by the fifth inning and ensured there would be no sweep. Here are my takeaways: 1. Clutch No. 9It was Toronto’s No. 9 hitter Andrés Giménez, of […]
Raiders ‘weren’t happy’ ESPN showed Tom Brady in their coaches’ box, Joe Buck says
Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders got the kind of attention they've been hoping to avoid last month when the future Hall of Famer was shown in the team's coaches' box during a "Monday Night Football" game.Brady is currently juggling two roles as a high-priced color commentator for Fox Sports and a minority owner of the Raiders, which has raised conflict of interest concerns for many around the league.
