Floyd Mayweather: When Canelo fought me, he was in his prime, I was an old man. I wasn't in my prime

Floyd is IRRELEVANT

 

We're still talking about him and people are still stupid enough to pay him $30,000,000+ per (exhibition) fight. He is not irrelevent......yet.

 

Only for the FLOYDIOTS

 

Floyd wasn't prime either.

No two fighters are exactly 100% prime at the same time.

 

Floyd was much closer to his prime when he fought Canelo than Canelo was. Canelo was not only still developing as a fighter, was inexperienced in PPV main events, but he was also drained at a catchweight. Mayweather was the #1 P4P fighter in the sport at the time, and was at the top of his game in tremendous condition. Canelo wasn't even in the P4P Top 10 when he fought Mayweather. All this revisionist history that Floyd and his fans are trying to pull here is complete BS. If you're the clear P4P #1 as Floyd was, you're definitely still in your prime. There's no way you can be P4P #1 and not still in your prime.

 

Canelo now experienced and roided
A boxer Floyd would have avoided
Floyd ducked throughout
His career no doubt
That's why is record is voided

 

Floyd was 36 years old, fighting against a guy 15lbs heavier than him in the ring.

No one is "prime" at 36.

Why on earth cant you be out of your prime and not P4P #1?

 

Didn’t Canelo have over 40 fights with wins over Mosley, Trout, Cintron, etc.. when he fought Floyd?

Of course Canelo is a better fighter now but there is no way he was an amateur/green in there with Floyd. Floyd just made it seem like he was...

 

Idk about old man, but Canelo was the "more prime".

 

How Heavy Canelo was in the ring has nothing to do with Mayweather still being in his prime.

As an example, Hopkins was prime at 36 when he fought Trinidad. Peak always refer to that night as Hopkins peak performance. Turning an arbitrary age doesn't automatically stop someone from being in their prime. What causes a fighter to not be in their prime anymore is for a significant performance dropoff to occur as it relates to their condition, speed, reflexes, etc. Mayweather never had such a dropoff that made fans suddenly decide that he was out of his prime. He was P4P #1, undefeated, and still at the top of his game. Was he still at his peak? No, of course not, but he was still in his prime. People seem to be cofusing the difference between peak and prime.

Because if something happens that causes you to no longer be able to perform at your best, like a loss or a lackluster performance, then it woud be noticeable by fans and would cause you to no longer be viewed as the clear P4P #1. Mayweather never lost, never showed any major signs of slowing down from fight to fight until he retired.

 

Coping Mechanism for Clenbutroids. Floyd will always beat and own that Ass

 

Floyd makes a lot of things seem like they are different than they are in an effort to make himself look better. If you can't discern when a famous boxer with a massive ego is making misleading and self serving statements in an effort to make himself look better in retrospect, then you suffer form a lack of situational awareness.

The difference between Mayweather's peak and the version of Mayweather who fought Canelo is much less than the difference between Canelo's peak and the version of Canelo that fought Mayweather. Not only was he young, still developing as a fighter, inexperienced as a PPV main eventer, he was also impaird at a significant disadvantage due to being drained at a catchweight. There's no way you could ever call a drained fighter "Prime". There's no way you can be considered Prime 8 whole years before you reach your peak. That would be like saying Hopkins was Prime when he fought RJJ the first time. No one would ever say that. Being Prime is rooted in being at your best. That involves reaching your peak as a fighter then maintaining yourself at or near your peak for as long as possible, until you dramatically drop off and slow down and suddenly become old overnight. Canelo was nowhere near the level that he is at now, way back then, and anyone who says he was at that level way back then DKSAB.

 

Floyd is coping with being a has been and living in Canelo's shadow. That's what this is all about. Floyd is starving for attention now that he's been replaced as the best boxer in the world by Canelo Alvarez. Now that Canelo is bigger and better than he ever was, all Floyd can do is ride Canelo's coattails, live in the past and remind people about his fight with Canelo. Floyd is living vicariously through Canelo.

 

Lol, come back here when someone writes your boy $100 million for an exhibition. No TV network would ever tell Floyd to GTFOH on a $280 million contract

 

Lolz!
