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.

Saturday's scorecards robbed Pacquiao of a legendary win befitting a legendary career. They also stole from him something more precious — time.

The 46-year-old Filipino came out of retirement on Saturday to fight Mario Barrios but fell short as the American escaped with a draw.
