    i will save the joyboys some time and say that floyd is the older man. i would save the *******s some time and say pac is older in ring age. over-all, great quote from pacman trying to call floyd indirectly out of his vacation and telling him to fight him now when it still matters.

    I'm sure Floyd read that article during one of his cryogenic anti-aging deep freezes he does monthly.

    I did read that. It doesn't change the fact that Floyd is the older man.

    And in keeping with the "waiting for fighters to get old" theme, isn't it ironic that Pac turned down a Mosley fight in 2009, but now, after 2 bad performances, is fighting him two years later (and older)?

    But I imagine you think that's Floyd's fault as well....

    *Pacquaio is 32, Floyd is 34.
    *Pacquiao has got better with age, and you can tell age has gotten to floyd.
    *Pacquiao is an active fighter, but floyd is an inactive fighter.
    *Pacquiao just became a world champ in his 8th weight class.
    *Pacquiao has streamrolled all his opponents in the last few years.

    But floyd is waiting for pacquiao to get old and lose his peak, whilst floyd stays in his prime for the rest of his life?

    Well, according to some posters Floyd has never taken a clean punch in 15 years of boxing. So, the argument there is that he gets freasher while Manny gets older giving us all of these "great fights".

    So he isn't scared now but the older fighter is waiting for his younger opponent to get old! Oh jeeze!

    I think he is waiting for you to agree to take random drug tests, Manny!

    Ooh yeah cuz they started boxing when they became professionals ... they've beeen doing this all their lives. U just can't ignore the amateurs ... olympic boxing is tougher than the beginning of a pro boxers career ..for the most part when a fighter starts going on a decline it takes more effect on a defensive fighter than an offensive fighter

    I find this to be fairly common sense, I cant believe people are actually trying to say that the ring age between the two are at all comparable.

    he obviously means he is waiting for him to decline, which isnt weird considering the wars pac been in and when styles are taken into consideration.
