    Ali wasn't prime when Frazier beat him.

    noob.

    Floyd is closer to his prime and way less deteriorated than Pac


    Warriors who go to wars deteriorate way faster than negative, safety first boxers

    Pacquiao is much older than Floyd, not in age but in boxing years. fact

    Morales is the same age as Floyd, yet nobody can argue that he's infinitely more shot to ****.

    we go by ring age and many other factors pac has much more mileage on the clock than mayweather

    In ESB's standard, pretty much all ATG's win against over another ATG is because the latter is past prime.

    Just a few ridiculous ones on top of my head

    Ali's over Liston
    Foreman's over Frazier
    Tyson's over Spinks
    Leonard's over Hagler
    Lewis' over Holyfield
    Pac's over Barrera
    Jones' over Toney

    ATG's never lose in their prime. Otherwise it wouldn't exactly be their prime, would it?
