This makes no sense. Pbf was older yet retired years before pac at a eailer age than what pac retired at. Yet pac had less left than pbf when they fought? Nice logic there. More like excuse making 101.
All of Floyds skills age fastest (foot speed, head movement, hand speed). Volume drops with age due to that and Floyd threw less punches than the average of his weight class. Power is the last thing to go. Always said Floyd would be done before Manny and history speaks to that. Pac in 2021 is much closer to 2010 form than Floyd of 2021 is to his 2016 form.
It's not that difficult to understand. Floyd wasnted to keep his 0. Pac is more like Duran and loved to scrap and didn't care about such nonsense. If Floyd had 80 or a 100 fights he takes a few losses even with his cherry picking it's just basic probability. I never said Pac had less than Floyd you just did. I'm saying Pac had slowed down and had a brutal KO a few fights before.

Pbf slowed down more. He looked like **** against maidana while pac looked great against Algeri and Bradley. Pac proved he didn't slow down more by beating Thurman.
He was still a top welter though. Pac was past it but i give lots of credit to Floyd for clearly beating an elite ATG at the time albiet a past it one
I wouldn't say Floyd had slowed more. yes he made a meal out of Midana in the first fight but he beat him confortably in th rematch. I don't think the Thurman fight helps you here. As that was close but a clear win for Pac however Thurman would be KO'd in Pacs prime.
Floyd’s style aged worse than manny. Power stays and Floyd was about timing. Twitch reflexes go with age. those saying he waited for pac to slow ate delusional fans
Who was even talking about this topic that this thread needed to be made? Quit reviving dead arguments you weirdo.
