But it could be done.
Manny Pacquiao the eight weight division world champion made history almost by beating Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight world title.
Super Human 46 Year Old Manny Pacquiao Earns Draw With Mario Barrios
Earning a draw tonight in Las Vegas, here’s some of his super natural effort:
Bare in mind when Foreman came back at 45 he was a heavyweight which makes things easier.
Pacquiao is tiny in stature at only five feet five inches tall, which makes the above even more super human and super natural, incredible stuff from Manny Pacquiao.
Obviously a rematch will be pursued.
Pacquiao spoke on the best boxers in the world before the fight but he showed he can still compete with young world champions himself.
