I honestly don't know. Pac's taken more punishment, and that takes a tole on your body, and Floyd around two years older. I can't say at this point. Give it till Saturday and you'll have an answer.

the way pac fights, his body is gonna age faster than mayweathers. he takes a lot of hits. nyways, these guys are at about the same as far as prime goes.

I think they are at exactly the same point. They are both at their physical limit and will only go down from here, but are at the apex of their skill level which covers up what downslide there has been. I'd say Pac is closer to the time when he goes down hill because of so many fights and the punches he has taken. I would expect Floyd to last longer.

Well I think Pacquiao at his peak as a boxer. Floyd it is hard to say, athletically I don't think he is at his best, in terms of boxing IQ I don't think he has ever been better.

Floyd is passed his best. His best was about 3 years ago. Freddies says himself Pac is just reaching his peak a few fights ago.

Floyd is definitely more past his prime. A prime Floyd had once punch KO power, and his handspeed was MUCH faster. And his legs are nowhere near as good as they used to be. He used to backpedal and circle the ring, but now he is more stationary and relies on reflexes and timing more, much like Pernell Whittaker.

Pacquiao was shot as hell and battle worn during his Super Featherweight days. I mean Zombie Morales beat him and Barerra took like 4 or 5 rounds in their rematch. I also think JMM beat him up and wobbled him too much for my liking. However he definitely rebounded after that and looks better than ever now. Floyd on the other hand has declined over the last 5 years. 2005 or 2006 Floyd was the end of his prime in my opinion.

So in essence, Pac is at his physical prime while Floyd is at his mental prime. Good point.
