Manny Pacquiao holds the top spot in the World Boxing Council (WBC) rankings
Manny Pacquiao, the legendary Filipino boxer, has once again made headlines in the world of boxing. At the age of 46, Pacquiao has proven his resilience and skill by securing the No.1 ranking in the 147-pound division according to the World Boxing Council (WBC).
Last month in Las Vegas, Nevada, Pacquiao put on a remarkable performance against 30-year-old champion Mario Barrios. The bout ended in a majority draw, but many believed Pacquiao should have won the fight. This impressive showing earned Pacquiao a place in the top ranking.
Netizens and Filipino boxing fans welcomed the news of Pacquiao's WBC ranking with open arms. One netizen commented on Pacquiao's ability to keep up with younger fighters at his age, saying it was truly remarkable.
Pacquiao's career boasts an impressive record of 62 wins, 8 losses, and 2 draws. He has 39 knockouts to his name, a testament to his powerful punches.
However, news of a potential rematch against his long-time rival, Floyd Mayweather Jr., remains uncertain. Mayweather, who retired from professional boxing in 2017 with a 50-0 career record, has been focusing on real estate investments. His latest endeavors include a $402 million deal acquiring over 60 affordable housing properties in Upper Manhattan, New York City, and a retail property purchase in Midtown Manhattan. As of August 2025, there is no public record or update about any planned boxing rematch against Manny Pacquiao.
The last time Pacquiao and Mayweather faced off was in May 2015. The fight set records for the highest pay-per-view buys and live gate earnings. Despite the absence of Mayweather in the ring, Pacquiao continues to make waves in the boxing world.
As Pacquiao moves forward in his career, fans eagerly await his next fight and any potential updates about a rematch against Mayweather. Until then, Pacquiao's dedication and skill in the ring serve as a source of inspiration for boxing enthusiasts around the world.
