It was a rude awakening. Snow White is still just a cartoon, Peter Pan remains a morning line underdog to Captain Hook and Manny Pacquiao is really 46 years old. The draw he earned Saturday in Las Vegas with Mario Barrios, the WBC welterweight champion, was forged with the only weapons he has left — his courage and his legs.

At 46, Pacquiao is older than George Foreman when Foreman defeated Michael Moorer to win the IBF and WBA heavyweight titles in 1994. Pacquiao also hasn't fought professionally in just shy of four years, retiring after being beaten by Yordenis Ugas in August 2021. That Ugas fight came more than two years after Pacquiao's previous bout.

Manny Pacquiao looks to make boxing history in his return to the ring at 46 with his longtime trainer, Freddie Roach, in his corner yet again.
