Manny Pacquiao Weighs-In The Heaviest In Over A Decade

The task for both fighters

People are confident that Pacquiao will not look rusty on Saturday. Some people say that he looks like he has not lost a step and that he should be walking away as the new WBC welterweight champion on Saturday night. But nobody would be able to really tell until he steps in the ring with the younger current champion Mario Barrios. Being away from the ring for almost four years is a long time. Which has other people skeptical that Pacquiao would still be able to be the same fighter that he was before he left.

Mario Barrios defended his title against Abel Ramos despite hitting the canvas in that fight. He was able to show heart, but a lot of critics are not sold on his longevity as a champion in the welterweight division. Which is why a lot of experts give Pacquiao a very good shot at winning tomorrow night. Barrios wants to prove that he’s just not here for a short time, but he will be here for a long time as well. Adding Manny Pacquiao name on his resume would be great and will temporarily quit critics until his next fight.
