SUGAR RAY LEONARD believes Manny Pacquiao will show he has one more big fight left in the tank.
The boxing icon has backed the Filipino puncher to prove doubters wrong when he takes on Floyd Mayweather Jr on Saturday night in Las Vegas for the WBC, WBO and WBA welterweight titles.
Pacquiao, 36, is the underdog for the $400 million bout despite winning world titles in eight different weight divisions and being one of the best of his era.
He is being written off because of his KO defeat by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012.
But Leonard has his own experience of being dismissed ahead of a huge fight.
The five-weight world champion had fought just once in five years before he faced Marvellous Marvin Hagler at middleweight in 1987.
