    pac is in his prime [only a dumbass disagrees] and floyds best weight is 130-135 however, FLoyd as of right now IS THE BEST BOXER IN THE WORLD and if manny beats him he deserves 100% credit without question...

    Neither are prime, but both still look great.

    Pac is not past his prime, he has gotten slightly slower but that's because of the weight gain, not age.
    Plus he's more powerful than he used to be which is probably because of the PED's
    Mayweather is obviously past his prime.
    He doesn't use his legs anymore (probably because he can't)
    He's not as aggressive as he used to be (probably because he doesn't see the openings as well and as quickly as he used to)
    And he has all kinds of injurries and general wear and tear that's creating problems for him and the way he trains.

    Mayweather's prime was probably around 1998-2002

    If Mayweather wins against Pacquiao I will still insist that he is very clearly past his prime

    During the Hatton and the Cotto fight.

    I mean its clear Floyd is not in his prime. I was asking when people thought Manny was in his prime pretty valid question to me. You gave an opinion. So you dont think Pac is still in his prime I gguessWhy the hell would I make an excuse for Floyd? If the fight happens and thats a huge if Floyd will win a 12 round decision

    Watch just round 7 since I know this fight isn't the best in the world :yep

    But look at how much mobile he was. I know he doesn't have to move as much now, but I can tell he's not as light on his feet anymore

    It's clear that both are past their primes. Even the "FIGHT" itself is past its "prime". And no, I don't want to argue on who's to blame.

    I consider 2008-2009 as his peak.

    He was faster and in that fight, you could see his "killer instinct". The looks on Pac's eyes tells you he want to "hurt" his opponent, just like the looks in his eyes when he was fighting Hatton. Now, I can't see a brutal Pac. It seems like he's carrying his opponent 'till round 12.

    I also consider 2006-2007 as Floyd's peak.

    Both man are past their primes.

    That is not to say that they're not both awesome - They are - But they're not prime anymore no.
