How many more years of "Prime" does Floyd have left?

He may already be in the last stages of his prime, actually -- I'd say within 1 - 2 years.

 

29 years and 11 months exactly. 16 bouts with Oscar De La Hoya, 55 with big show and one with Arturo Gatti.

 

Totally agree with you about his focus.

I think he is still to me in his prime he doesnt drink, etc. But as you say he is more focused on making money than making history. I think this is evident whilst taking on Hatton. In Hatton he had a good fighter who brought the exciting style, fans and therefore money needed whilst also being beatable. Same with De la Hoya, he brings the $$$ to the table therefore Mayweather wants the fight.

Now a fighter who was bothered about his legacy in the history of boxing would have fought Tszyu instead of Gatti and would be fighting/ calling out Cotto.

But i still think Mayweather is one of them talents that only come around every 20years

 

he probably isn't even prime right now.

 

I'd say at least a couple more years of prime but he may have another five years of superiority. Floyd keeps himself in excellent shape at all times. Doesn't balloon up in weight like a lot of fighters. And he doesn't have any bad habits like drinking or smoking.

Even at a diminished level he's going to be better than just about everyone else for quite a while.

 

The Fishnet is more likely to age a few years (going from merely past his prime to shot) than Floyd is to get old overnight.
