who's slipped more?

Having a rough fight but winning is always better then a lost. That being said, Pac has declined more.

 

Both have slipped but still head and shoulders above the rest of the division.

Don't think Mayweather looked bad against Maidana in the second fight, he planted his feet more than in first fight. Maidana knew what to expect as well which meant he landed more. It was still a landslide result for Mayweather.

 

Yeah I agree. Pacquiao won but did have trouble landing cleanly on Bradley, despite what the punchstats may say. Same with Mayweather on Guerrero. Maybe Pacquiao just had problems with because Bradley is a good fighter who can give awkward angles.

My guess is that Pacquiao has slipped more, Mayweather takes less punishment and is more technical, is known to take better care of himself outside-the-ring than Manny, so I figured Floyd would age better. As ugly as the Maidana rematch was, I thought his legs looked excellent for a 37 year old. Others disagree with me and thought he looked poor. Who knows....quite a few people whose opinion I respect have given good arguments that Floyd has slipped as much, or even more.

I just hope that since we were robbed of the best matchup in 2010, that this somewhat makes up for it in terms of action. Sometimes fighters make better action fights when they are older and not quite as defensively sharp.

 

Don't forget styles as well. Floyd's defense first technically sound style ages better than Manny's reflex and speed genetic freak offensive style.

I think Manny has slipped more from their peaks, but I'm still picking Manny to pull off the upset.
