Could Floyd Mayweather Jr also had beaten Thurman at the same age that Pacquiao did at 41 years old?

The Thurman Manny beat would be easy for Mayweather, you gotta look past a name and look at the form they are in on the night, the biggest punters get up at 3am to go watch trackwork they do it to read the form, Thurman was years in surgery and rehabilitation, had a comeback fight and was nearly stopped by a faded guy Maidana stopped, continue on with the form and Manny gets schooled by a slow guy in Ugas.

The performance form of an athlete doesn't always represent the name value.

Eeeer, no. He looked shot at 38, so no-one going say He can break old age records. It's for us to say floyd can't do and for him to prove us wrong.

If it's the same rusty, past prime version of Thurman that Pacquiao fought, yeah he probably could. Thurman was never the same after the car crash, injuries and long ass layoff. He's now a shadow of his former self, that's why even an ancient, shot to bits Pacman could beat him

if we're talking about prime, tip top shape, pre-layoff Thurman, no he wouldn't. Thurman was Floyd's mandatory for 2 years and he shamelessly ducked him for a reason, to fight the likes of Berto and Bumrrero instead

He proved you wrong all the way, all you ever had was say he cant do, yet he beat you EVERY time for real, your fantasy BS is meaningless.

Maybe but he would never have took a risk like that.

Keith was also clearly past-prime by the time he fought Pacquiao. MOST fighters start to decline after a few years fighting at a championship level - not very many champions last the way Mayweather, Pacquiao, Canelo, DLH, etc did.

Keith would have had absolutely nothing in his bag to trouble Mayweather at that point.

I think the big question would be could Floyd walk him down? Probably not tbh.

I think that’s a really tough fight for a past prime Mayweather because Thurman moves a lot. I think he would’ve forced Floyd onto the front foot.

Mayweather has such a high ring IQ though, he definitely makes it a close fight were Thurman maybe has the volume but Floyd has the quality. Close decision either way.

Prime for prime, Mayweather UD’s him pretty easily.

Shot?

He took Pacquiao to school at 38.

He didn't have to at that stage of the game the people on top of the mountain didn't arrive there by a rope from the clouds, that doesn't mean he couldn't do it or that he never would, he took way bigger risks than Thurman ever was throughout his career there is no fear in Floyd taking risks but its gotta make business sense, its just for that fight the timelines were on different schedules of life. You often get this with fighters as one generation is moving out and the next generation is moving in, nothing new its always been there in boxing.
