Manny Pacquiao Gives Honest Reaction to Potential Gervonta Davis Fight

What Pacquiao Said Regarding Davis Matchup

Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) was last seen in action in 2024 during an exhibition bout against Rukiya Anpo. It wasn’t the kind of performance that “Pac Man” fans hoped for, as the Filipino legend was outboxed for much of the fight.

Since that underwhelming showing, he has announced his return to professional boxing, sparking outrage among many who feel he shouldn’t be competing at this level at 46 years old. What Pacquaio has left in the tank remains to be seen, especially considering his last professional fight was a disappointing loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021.

When asked about a potential fight against Tank, Pacquiao did not hesitate: “I like that. I mean, I like that but, you know, let’s finish this one because this one (Barrios) is a taller champion like that.

“So, I have a lot of thing(s) to do in training camp.”
