  • Pacquiao has returned to boxing after a four-year hiatus.
  • Australian Liam Paro plans to fight Pacquiao in Australia.
  • Discussions about Pacquiao's ranking in the world of boxing continue.

Manny Pacquiao has returned to boxing after a four-year hiatus, having previously participated in a fight against WBC champion in the welterweight category Mario Barrios, which ended in a loss. Pacquiao, who is 46 years old, demonstrated that he is still capable of competing at a high level, drawing attention to his future career.

After this fight, discussions have begun about potential upcoming opponents for Pacquiao. Among the most likely candidates are the winner of the fight between Bryan Norman-Molodshy and Devin Haney, which will take place on November 22, as well as the winner of the match between Rolando Romero and Ryan Garcia. Both boxers expressed a desire to meet with the boxing legend.

In addition, Australian boxer Liam Paro, who plans to move up to the welterweight division, has also expressed a desire to meet with Pacquiao. He considers Pacquiao his idol and hopes for a big fight in Australia.

Currently, Pacquiao has several possibilities for continuing his career, including the option of a rematch with Barrios. However, his manager indicated that they are not currently interested in this matchup.

In boxing circles, there is active discussion about Pacquiao's ranking, which has placed him 9th in the WBC ranking, despite the fact that he has not fought in the last four years. This has sparked a discussion about whether it is fair that he occupies such a position among active boxers.

Pacquiao, undoubtedly, remains one of the most prominent figures in the world of boxing, and his upcoming steps will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
