Comments Thread For: Mayweather: I'm Not 21 Anymore, Paul Was Better Than I Thought He Was

Right, so Floyd was older like I said.

Pacquiao waited until Floyd was almost 40 to fight him. And still lost.

Two years isn’t enough difference to say Manny waited til he got old. Especially when ya consider Floyd is naturally the much larger fighter and was just a responsible for delaying the fight as Manny was. Floyd says he’s always fought bigger guys but that’s really not true, he was always a natural welter just started well below his natural weight as is the tendency for most American fighters now of days. He almost always enjoyed a significant reach advantage. Add his speed and supreme boxing ability and it was easy for him to avoid punishment. Manny really was almost always the smaller fighter and his aggressive style led to more punishment. I think the fight goes the same way at any age, but if you could somehow make Manny 5’8 like Floyd, well then there’s a debate to be had.

Pacquiao was so shopworn that he went on to beat Keith Thurman AFTER the Floyd fight.

Nothing can reverse the hands of time. Floyd is older and always will be.

Manny had an injured shoulder that required surgery, did you forget that part?

Pathetic money grab , I can see Floyd calling out a Kangaroo or something next as his ridiculous lifestyle will come back and haunt him.....as Sr. said many years ago Jr . will end up skint.

We not talking about what he went on to do.

Instead of admitting between Floyd and Manny, despite Floyd being two years older, Manny has far more ring damage, you try to deviate because you know it's the truth

Floyd really embarrassed himself this time, and regardless of how little Floyd did or did not train, after his performance against Logan Paul, so much for Floyd being the greatest fighter of all time.

Agreed. His net worth has steadily gone down over the last couple of years. He needs to sell off some of his properties abs cars. He’s living beyond his means.

This was the first time I've ever seen Money May looked so dejected after a fight and I don't know why. I know that he wasn't satisfied with his overall performance but this was only an exhibition.

In addition, to being retired and not training; He was fighting a much younger and stronger man who outweighed him by 30 lbs. This wasn't a boxing match. Logan made it a street fight with all his excessive holding and hugging.

He should have been disqualified because he didn't want to fight. Nor did he dominate or beat Floyd up.

He just went to survival mode. So be encouraged champ; You equipped yourself just fine!

Whoa! Hold up there one second...you’re stating someone should be deducted points for excessive holding? That’s what Floyd did the entire time in the second half of his career. It was constant. Floyd was never deducted points for excessive holding and the forearm to the face (which again he did last night) because he was a protected fighter with the refs and judges and commission.

He went too far by saying "always" but Gatti was the bigger guy, Oscar was the bigger guy, Cotto was the bigger guy, and Canelo was the bigger guy. Only Canelo had a catch-weight. That's impressive!
