I agree that Mayweather alwasy seemed the more skilled fighter,but the more skillful fighters are also the ones that last the longest in the game because the just adapt there style to the physic there are in, look at james tony even when he was soo out of shape he was still abel to put real deal holyfield on his ass because of his skill,Hopkins is another example of have skill takes you the furthest down the road in boxing.
Floyds prime is not his physical prime because he is a thinker.
Pac on the other hand is a speedster/brawler and his whole way of fighting relays on what state his physic is in.
Now I am properly gonna offend some Pac fans ,but Pac alwasy seemed limited boxing skill wise to me,but he makes up for with his unhuman explosiveness but as soon as that is gone he is gonna look like he never belonged in the ring.
My point is that pac at 27-30 was prime Pac , he will never get better then he was back then.
Thats the years a boxer peaks physically.
Look at the fights he where in he pulverized them all, that Pac would have knocked out Bradley.
Its only going downhill from here on.
Mayeather will be here after Pac
