    No because he was not as good as Floyd in his 30s

    The issues with cocaine certainly shortened Pea's prime. In my opinion, Mayweather has better speed. Pea, has better skills.

    Most likely. Old Pernell beat Prime ODH, while prime Floyd had a tough go of CODH

    Edit: yes I realize Pernell didn't officially beat ODH, but anyone with eyes know different

    Whitaker most likely didn't lose double digit rounds for most of his career. And he didn't run like May did. He stood his ground, fought in the pocket, and took chances to land his offense. Not saying anyone could do what Mayweather did, but that's not fighting. It's running, backpedaling, something Whitaker NEVER did. It's another reason why May was so well preserved.
