    And I don't doubt that at all, nor deny it. But Pacquiao is younger. Whether Mayweather has been in wars or not, he's getting old. No amount of defense can prevent that.

    The youngest opponent Floyd fought that people said was "old" was Cotto at age 32, then Oscar at 34 and so on. Mayweather is 38 now, he's not exactly a spring chicken.

    That guy's re****ed and something ain't right with him. I've put him on ignore because, it's annoying to read his posts. He's a weirdo, wants manny to win, like it's his dad, but has 10 excuses from usada, pac is shot, judging, and has a plan to put pressure on floyd via a poll on a random boxing forum.

    Anyway, I think floyd looks further past his prime in his last 2 fights, manny looks good post ko6, as well as he can considering well he got knocked out, which usually you don't recover 100%.

    I think its pretty even where they both are physically.

    Of course he's past his best. But Pacquiao isn't even close to his former self.

    Go watch Pacquiao Barrera I. You tell me if Pac still has that power, speed and stamina.

    Your perspective more like. Statistics are meaningless w/o context because as we all know, statistics are a tool to be manipulated at will. And the context is that Floyd was once known as the Pretty Boy. Was that his name because he got hit? Was in wars? Haha. Why do I even need to go on. This thread is ****ing hilarious.

    They're offensive because you debunked yet another one of their excuses. Trying to give these payasos a clue. Deep in their hearts they know there are #noexcuses

    I hear you, but I never said Pacquiao was prime or even close to it. It's unfair to focus on Pacquiao's prime and not Mayweather's.

    Manny fought a lot of fights professionally when Floyd was fighting as an amateur. He had a lot of short fights, too, and didn't really start going the full 12 rounds regularly until he hit the big time.

    I think you all assumed that I was implying Pacquiao is more prime than Floyd when I wasn't. Fact is, Pacquiao has more ring age, but Mayweather is older. Does Mayweather's actual age negate Pac's ring age? Simple question. They get offensive because they're uneducated.

    It's hard to accurately judge Mayweather's ability and ring age. You see, Pac faced the best of the best over and over and did it in their prime. We've seen him tested.

    Mayweather never faced an ATG in their prime. That's why it's difficult to really judge his abilities as a fighter. There is no reference point to look to.

    Look up their tale of the tape. Their calves, thighs, biceps, chest, fist, wrist, are all eerily close. Pacquiao is not that small. He's shorter than Mayweather, but they measure the same in a lot of ways. Pacquiao is smaller than Floyd, but he's no lightweight, he's a welter.

    I think you cannot see clearly is because you are who you are sadly. For the rest of the world it is pretty clear who has more ring age and it isn't someone whose nick used to be the Pretty Boy.

    1 pac fight is like equal to 2 fights just because of his workrate...

    you get your moneys worth with a pac fight...full of action unlike fights by floyd...

    pac's ring age is definitely more than floyd...but pac is a different breed...he can pull an upset on may 2....
