SHOCKING PREDICTION: Canelo Alvarez Drops BOMBSHELL Pick for Manny Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios Fight – You Won’t Believe Who Wins!

In a twist that has stunned the boxing world, Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez has weighed in with his own bold prediction for the highly anticipated clash between legendary fighter Manny Pacquiao and rising star Mario Barrios — and fans are in disbelief over who he’s backing.

Speaking at a recent press conference in Mexico City, Canelo was asked about his thoughts on the upcoming bout, which has quickly become one of the most talked-about matchups of the year. Without hesitation, the four-division world champion delivered a bombshell.

“I respect Manny a lot, he’s a legend,” Canelo said. “But this time, I think Mario Barrios is going to win. He’s younger, stronger, and has a lot to prove. Pacquiao is great, but time waits for no one.”

The crowd reportedly gasped as Canelo made his stunning pick, given Pacquiao’s iconic status in the sport and his global fanbase. Social media erupted within minutes, with fans split between those who agree with Canelo’s analysis and those fiercely loyal to the Filipino legend.

Analysts say Canelo’s prediction isn’t entirely out of the blue. At 45 years old, Pacquiao is attempting yet another comeback after several years away from the ring, while Barrios, known for his aggressive style and explosive power, has been building momentum in the welterweight division.

Still, many find it hard to bet against Pacquiao’s experience, heart, and unique fighting rhythm. The Pac-Man has defied age before — and his camp insists he’s in the best shape of his life.

Meanwhile, Barrios welcomed Canelo’s endorsement, stating in an interview: “It’s an honor to have someone like Canelo believe in me. I’m ready to shock the world.”

With the fight date approaching fast, Canelo’s prediction has only fueled more anticipation for what could be a legendary showdown. One thing’s certain: boxing fans can’t wait to see if the Mexican champion’s shocking pick comes true.
