Five years ago Floyd would have also been better which means Manny would have still lost.
To be a great offensive fighter requires prime year abilities. Strength, stamina, speed, and HUNGER, a lot of which was missing in old Pac but made him a beast when he was younger.
Jr. fought the same as he always has because an off beat Pac, while still difficult for inexperienced fighters, isn't as difficult to deal with these days.
Honestly, I didn't think Pac looked good in his 3rd Bradley fight. Bradley just looked old also. Pac hasn't been the same since post Margarito fights. I think Margarito fight took a lot out of him but more importantly, he just got old, lol

I don't care how defensive you are, time will still catch up with you. Pernell Whitaker was over the hill by the time he was in his early 30s. Yet a knock out drag out fighter like Evander Holyfield was able to fight until his 40s There are a lot of things that can account for a fighter slowing down.
Both guys were shot when they fought.

It's funny that the guys who do the most bugging of Pac fans for not moving on are the ones that turn around and make Floyd Mayweather threads. This thread reeks.
