    I misspoke, meant to say more tattered by fights (meaning to say takes more damage in fights, not currently showing damage)

    But the could do without it. Take away Floyd's athleticism and you get BHop (generally speaking, of course).

    Good point, actually.

    Though if Shane's chin sticks around for a few rounds he's gonna get a beating there.

    With Margo, though, he chose to fight off the ropes at times and trade punches at times, it was the pride showing, wanted to show he could outfight him and that he couldn't be bullied.

    instead of name calling, just answer straight my question. and my question was adjusted for you who thinks floyd would not lose to pac anytime. ok i will make it easy for your tiny brain, floyd has his boxing skills left and pac has his power left. both had lost their speed and reflex, who will come better off the two?

    and you are not actually answering my question. i am not actually saying that floyd would not age but floyd would not be weared and teared like pac is. pac is aging but is also accumulating damage from fights while floyd is aging and preserving himself from further wear and tears of fighting.

    yeah a 34 year old floyd is waiting for the years to go buy so 32 year old pacquiao who has got better which age will eventually start getting worse?
    Half the people on this board talk utter nonsense and their opinions are biased and so flawed its ridiculous

    this is where i am getting at. floyd losing his speed would still make him a very good fighter with his boxing skills, ring smarts and illegal tactics. pac losing his speed would only left him with his power and a lesser boxing skill than floyd.

    Floyd is almost 2 years older and relies a lot on his amazing reflexes to win fights. It's him that might get old overnight. Pacman doesn't rely nearly as much on his reflexes.

    I hope one of 2 things happen.

    I hope Floyd stays retired because of Pac and have his legacy forever tarnished and shunned by the boxing world.

    or

    Pac beats him in a brutal and embarrassing KO.

    Lets put it this way, If Pac retires next year after fighting a JMM or a Berto for a final fight. then w/o fighting him Floyds legacy would take a serious hit. Its between a rock and a hard place for Floyd. Pac can retire after Mosley.
