Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao 2: Career Paths and Recent Activity
What can you say about Mayweather (50-0, 27 KOs)? He announced his retirement after stopping Conor McGregor, with a perfect undefeated record. He very rarely looked troubled and defeated some of the most talented fighters, including Canelo, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Jose Luis Castillo.
Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) did what many fighters dream of, successfully fighting his way up in the weights. His best wins came against Juan Manuel Marquez, Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton, and Marco Antonio Barrera.
Mayweather has not fought professionally since his 2017 win over McGregor, while “Pac Man” recently drew against Mario Barrios in a WBC welterweight title fight. Many felt the Filipino fighter had done enough, but the judges ruled it a majority draw, with one scoring it 115-113 for Barrios, while the other two had it 114-114.
Before he faces Mayweather, Pacquiao will face former super lightweight world champion Ruslan Provodnikov in an exhibition on April 18.
