    How can a fighter who is no longer as good as he used to be still be in his prime? Hopefully you understand the question this time.

    Dude doesn't this guy ever shut up anymore. Train your fighter and STFU, he acts like he's the one fighting, him and Abel Sanchez.

    May never fought an ATG, Roach is right about that.

    The generation in the 80s (Pryor, Hearns Leonard Benitez, Duran etc) 90s (delahoya, Whitaker, Mosley, Trinidad etc) was much stronger. Roach is right again.

    Prime 38 year old Floyd who struggled with M aidana twice?

    Ok.

    Not that it matters, to the victor go the spoils.

    Roach is sounding more and more desperate as days go. Even his trash talking is nonsense. While it's true that Mayweather's legs aren't the same, but calling him ordinary?, that's like saying Pacquiao has no speed.

    and Floyd Mayweather SR...:D

    You guys are taking this way too serious.

    Roach once said that he talks pre-fight trash jsut because it is fun to him. Personally I am not bothered by it, no harm in a bit pre-fight hype.

    Roach knows the truth, he knows Floyd is great, the same as Floyd knows Pacquiao is great. This is all mindgames right now, but both camps know this potentially is a very tough fight for their boxer.

    Last time Roach was talking like this it was before the Oscar fight, and he was right.

    He is right that Mayweather's legs aren't the same, but he's definitely not an ordinary fighter despite that reality. I think it's fair to say that both Mayweather and Pacquiao are clearly not the same but Pacquiao has been in far more wars even though Mayweather took a lot of punishment in his last two showings.

    Exactly, which is why you can tell their trash talking isn't over the top like many expected it to. If anything, I expected Sr. to be all over the media with insults knowing how he and Roach have a history of insults and name-calling. They are both confident yet not very confident at the same time and it's understandable. For Sr. though this far more difficult since Jr. is his son.

    You can't say a guy in a weak era never fought an ATG.. If the whole era is weak, there would be no ATG or the qualifications would be lesser...
