Did Pacquiao PEAK LATE?

[GrandpaBernard]

He was at the back end of his absolute peak when Mayweather beat him 118-110, in fact, I would say that was the best Pac ever. He did well to survive 12 rounds vs past prime Mayweather, as Mayweather would definitely have wanted to get him out of there, but Pac survived to see the final bell. I salute him for that. My sig is worthy of respect. Nash out.

Lol Floyd fought to HURT manny in all but one round

simply put manny doesn’t have the skill set to push Floyd the way a Mosley Cotto or Maidana did

[GrandpaBernard]

I agree but Floyd was even older..but that was the excuse used to not give Floyd credit

manny did good work years later when he upset Keef

manny still had plenty of life left when Floyd schooled him

I agree Grandpa Bernard. Good examples of superior skilled boxers too.

[GrandpaBernard]

manny always wants to have the last word in any exchange

the day he no longer does this is when I’ll call him shot

That's what boxing GOAT is made of. Just look at pac-floyd even with just one healthy arm he easily dominate floyd imagine if he was healthy in that fight.

I don't think Morales was even 30 when they fought, you people always saying your fav was "past their prime". If Morales was so damn good, he wouldn't have been completely dominated the next time they fought.

Morales had to move up in weight shortly before he fought Pacquiao. Morales said in an interview that in order to make feather weight, all he did was eat lettuce and tomato's .

Maybe if you gave a damn to do your research BEFORE opening your keyboard u might not need to comment.
Morales was 108/6 as a AMATEUR. Yes that’s means BEFORE he was a professional.
By the time he met Pac he already had 148 fights under his belt and lost twice to Barrera.
His PRIME fighting weight was well UNDER 126.
So their was 2 strikes against him AND HE STILL WHIPPED A PRIME PAC. After Pac he lost quite a lot. His body was done.
I know it’s hard for fat, old, couch potatoes with ZERO understanding of the sweet science.

When a guy spends the bulk of a time period fighting stiffs, the aging process stops. Only when a person is up against tough opposition do they ''age''.
It's the same song GGG fans are singing.

both were old and past it a lil by the time they fought

Them past it is still good enough to beat guys in their peak though

Mayweather dominates Pacquiao in impressive victory by Dan Rafael

The reason why the fight was what it was is because Mayweather, a five-division champion, is just that great. He may not be "TBE" ("the best ever," as he calls himself), but he's way up there and he proved once again that he is the best of his time, a fighter so far superior to everyone in his era that he can basically do as he pleases and outbox anyone.

So, yeah, it was not a great, fan-friendly fight, but it was Mayweather at his master boxer best as he rolled to a fairly dominant win in the legacy fight of his career before a sold-out crowd of 16,507 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena,

Mayweather firmly established that he is the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world. His only true competition was Pacquiao, the 36-year-old Filipino legend and boxing's only eight-division titleholder. As it turned out, it wasn't really much of a competition:

Mental strength aside from pure talent. Add to this, he developed this early when he didn't have proper nutrition, not even a legit trainer.
