    In the last 5 years, how many and who did Floyd fight?

    In the last 5 years, RELATIVELY, Pacquiao has worn out his gears. That to me is aging.

    And Mayweather can't wait for Pacquiao to "age" more in wearing out his gears.

    And folks, AGE isn't just the literal years of one's existence, it is also the FREQUENCY OF FIGHTS in the last years....
    Being inactive hurts your skills.

      Isn't Floyd older than Manny?

          There is a bit of confusion here. Floyd is a gym bunny, he is never out of it. His skills wont be hurt. It would only matter if he came back and fought someone who is sharp and fast and then the inactivity might show.
          But when he fought slow ass SSM and puffed up JMM they couldnt take advantage of any rust.
          Inactivity would only effect floyds ring fitness which you only gain by fighting and because he fought gas out old man SSM and bloated JMM it didnt matter the inactivity..

            Yeah and that didn't do a damn thing. The game plan was pretty much, lead with the left hook and body shots. That was unsuccessful. IMO It shouldn't of been a split decision.

              It's a double edged sword. Damned if you and damned if you don't. Either way both could show signs. IMO I wouldn't want to be the inactive guy. Pac gets hit a lot no matter who he fights no matter how many times he fights. Its just the way it is. Him being inactive might hurt him more than Mayweather who doesnt get hit (but once he does everyone thinks he "almost lost" after one punch lands clean) as much. Either way they both could show signs as there both over 30.

                Im hearing you, but inactivity wouldnt harm Floyds skills. They are set in stone in his head and muscle memory. His ring fitness is all that would be effected and it didnt matter against SSM and JMM to old guys, one slow and old in SSM , and one oldish and bloated.

                    Your world must be just circulating around Floyd.
                    That's something you Pac fans would say about Floyd fighting
                    Baldomir instead of Margarito, then De La Hoya. Floyd left Arum
                    because he didn't want to make the Mayweather/De La Hoya
                    fight but Pac fans and haters said he ducked Margarito? Manny
                    is the only one ducking now. Manny is ducking any boxer/fighter
                    that is winning and has a technical fighting style.

                      Man, you just destroyed his entire life. That cats sitting at home right now not knowing wtf just happened. Unless he's new to boxing and has no idea what you just said let alone comprehend it.

                      I tell you, some people just don't see the irony in Team Pac and the "choices" they are making. It's really sad.
