One of the world’s best fighters may finally get a title to call his own after one of the most anticipated matches of the year in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Filipino superstar Manny Pacquiao challenges Juan Manuel Marquez for the Mexican’s IBF and WBA featherweight titles in potentially one of the best nine-stone scraps seen in years.
Pacquiao turned the division on its head last November by thoroughly outclassing Marco Antonio Barrera to win universal recognition as the division’s true champion.
Only Barrera’s admirable ignorance of the sanctioning bodies prevented the underdog from strapping a big belt around his waist following a stunning win.
