Everyone is righting off “Pacman” against Barrios but his amateur and pro boxing record here gives him a big experience edge in the fight.
It is thought talks are ongoing right now between the WBC and others in order to stage a Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao world title fight before the end of the year.
Pacquiao boxes in Japan in RIZIN on the 28th of this month over three-rounds to get ready.
No one seems to give Pacquiao a chance at this point against Barrios. He will start as a big underdog if the fight happens.
But the Manny Pacquiao boxing record amateur and pro below speaks for itself. What a run. Eight-world champion as a professional never before seen in boxing history.
Nor ever will again. A once-off. Special.
Manny Pacquiao Amateur Boxing Record:
60-4
Manny Pacquiao Professional Boxing Record:
62-8-2-39 KO
Marrio Barrios Amateur Boxing Record:
75-3
Marrio Barrios Professional Boxing Record:
29-2-18 KO
As you can see, Barrios had a good amateur career but the pros is a different story.
Pacquiao is far more experienced as a professional and will call on all this to try to pull of a super-human upset if he gets a shot at the title at 45-years-old.
An upset for the ages were he to win a world title at that age.
