    Past prime but not by much tbh, he's just that good it's hard to tell.

    I think he only has 2-3 fights left in him. He's taking more punishment than he needs to and his legs are gone.

    I think his handspeed wasnt there as it usually is. He wasnt landing the overhand rights, maybe he should stick to 147.

    Moreso the weight than the age but obviously he isn't prime anymore.

    Slightly past his prime but that doesn't mean much.

    Why anyone would think any of Mayweather, Pacquiao, Cotto or Marquez were in their primes right now is beyond me. They're all top shelf names in the sport, but they are clearly not in their primes. Just because they haven't lost the amount of the RJJ's and Mosley's doesn't mean they haven't lost a significant amount.

    Clearly not in his prime, but still one of the best.

    Past his best, but still the best welter, by a good margin.

    Also think that Floyd could be better at JMW, but doesn't want to add the weight, in the right manner, until he finishes business for good at welter.

    Vintage Floyd wouldn't have been touched up by a past-it Cotto weareing 10oz gloves.

    only *******s like to claim that floyd is in his prime to give themselves confort for when floyd beats Manny. they like to say Pac is past it and floyd is on top of his game. well, tonight we saw that he definately aint prime, so these ******* ***s better give props when floyd taps his ass.
