How is Manny Pacquiao so much better than Mayweather now?

[LeOoze]

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.

I agree with this. A lot of boxers want to have a Money Mayweather career but let's not get it twisted. In his early days prior to ODL he was fighting tough fights against prime opponents.

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

I'm 1000% sure he wouldn't. There is no way Floyd could beat Manny at this point.

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

Lol, come on man.

Why does it matter if they are professional boxers or not? How does that hurt boxing? Is that going to prevent certain fights from not happening? Is boxing going to be invested any less because of these games? Nonsense, if anything it will be the opposite. The PPV buy rate is likely to surpass a million. Think about that for a second. Wilder/Fury II wasn't able to hit that mark but this fight will. These guys are going to do what they do, but it's not going to impact the actual "real" boxers in any bad way.

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?

Now let me pose the same question to you that you posed to me in another thread. Do you believe that you or Logan Paul could go eight rounds against Manny Pacquiao?

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.

Because fighters age differently, some faster than others.

Pacquaio seems to be aging slower than Mayweather for whatever reason.

Floyd was well past his prime back in 2015 when they fought let alone now.
