    How is Manny Pacquiao so much better than Mayweather now?

    I’m completely confused as to how this happened.

    Before Mayweather and Pacquiao fought, Pacquiao was getting beat and in competitive fights with a lower class of guy. He looked like he was about done in his career.

    Mayweather was still dominant.

    Pacquiao is smaller, which means age should impact him more.

    But now he looks a decade younger than Mayweather.

    How did this happen?

    Mayweather didn't look great in the Maidana fights nor in the Berto fight. Canelo was really his last true great performance. He did well vs Manny, but the Canelo fight was the one where he was "on" from the opening bell.

    He's also no longer active or training like he used to. His speed/reflexes are still good, but not what they once were....Obviously, as he is now 44 years old.

    Honest question, why is this bothering you so much? Like you are honestly taking this personal and seemed hurt about it. Not that serious my man.

      Pac s greater. Not foregone conclusion Floyd should be able to do what Pac s did. Pac s a born fighter Floyd was more manufactured.

        Agree. Manny could easily clinch and dance all night long, but that's not his mentality.

        He prioritizes: fans > himself
        Whereas Floyd focuses: fans < himself

          Why do I seem hurt by Floyd Mayweather legitimizing professional internet trolls Jake and Logan Paul as professional boxers?

          Lol, come on man.

            I'm 1000% sure if Floyd came out of retirement he'd school Manny again

              Then boxing is completely screwed because he couldn’t even school a YouTuber.

                  healthy living and faith in and love of God. easy. im an old grandpa but I can beat any of u punks 1v1 because I don't spoil my body and mind with complete degeneracy like floyd or any of u punks do.

                  eating healthy, exercise and trust in God is completely lost with u millennials and this is why the world is in such a poop state.

                    It started when Mayweather became top dog.

                    He was the first face of boxing that would pick and choose fights that benefitted him instead of having the “anyone, anywhere, anytime” mentality.

                    It worked so well that everyone picks and chooses now.

                    We went from getting almost every fight to getting crap and freak shows.
