How can Pac get older FASTER than floyd?

[BoxingWasp]

Manny has not had to deal with much wear & tear. He beat Oscar, Cotto, Hatton, and Clottey easily. He beat Margo easily also but took a few good body shots. It's also well known that fighters who stay active have an edge over fighters who take long layoff. This is the same thing that *******S bring up when they talk about Floyd's win over Mosley. Just shows how they will favor a certain perspective when it's convenient for them to do so. This is why people hate *******s.

Wasn't Floyds win vs Shane really harmed by his inactivity (Shanes)? i thought that's what i heard.. Floyd has had like 2 fights in what? 4-5 years??

You guys can't have it both ways.. Sure Pacquiao may actually slow down a bit more if he starts taking damage (not likely facing Clottey/Margarito/Mosley ) but Floyd is hardly gonna get faster and is more likely to be out of practice if he ever does return

The predictable response of many in this forum for Pac's comment is derision and ridicule. That's understandable, since Floyd is older than Pac.


But let me ask you this:

which suffers from more wear and tear? The wheels on the car or the spare tire?

With all this inactivity Floyd's reflexes aren't getting better and neither is his overall athleticism. Pacquiao staying active helps him stay sharp, especially since he hasn't been any tough fights recently. If there's some extra testosterone in his system, that'll keep him younger too.

Your analogy is , as previously pointed out.

what kind of logic...lol.

Do you actually think that Floyd will pull a Benjammin Button? As Pac gets older what is Floyd doing..turning back the clock?

havent you heard about the word prime? pacman is in his prime right now and floyds well, prime for jail?

Yup, 60 fights, many wars and 15 years of professional activity and Manny is as good as ever. Ariza shakes...we all need em.

Read sig, kthxbye.

I'm not sure I understand you shorthand. Can you clearify. Anybody?

[AFighter4U]

Yes the body will have wear and tear but you shouldn't compare a human body to a tyre. The human body regenerates but tyres don't.

Look at Ricky Hatton. He's been on a layoff since 2009. Does the same rule apply to him in this case? Do you think he'll be sharper in the ring if he returns?

it is true that the human body regenerates.

BUT.

there is just so much damage the body and brain can take that it can no longer repair itself. otherwise, ali and roach wouldn't have the physical afflictions they are currently going through.

boxing is such a brutal sport that a single punch can end your career and very possibly your life.


as for ricky hatton, i wish him the best and i hope that he succeeds in whatever he decides to do.

but there are just too many factors out there to know for sure if he can work out a successful comeback.

If you can't see that Pac has slowed down, then you're missing something.
Heck look at Morales, he had a good fight VS Maidana eho is a top 5 140 lber.
Also Barerra and Morales also have different styles.

Anyway the question is, do offensive fighters who get hit last as long as fighters that do not get hit as much? On the whole, defensive fighters last longer.

Look at Hopkin's for example...

Tell me genius, did Ray Robinson have bad defense? How about Ricardo Lopez?

SSM beating Margarito was bad preparation for Floyd, considering FLoyd is a totally different fighter to Margarito.

Interviewer: You've got a new conditioning trainer, who's got you on organic food, rather than supplements, shakes and pills - do you feel any different?

Khan: It's made a massive difference, because I feel so much better now. I'm throwing power shots, and feeling better in sparring now. I'm seeing the impact of a good, natural diet.

Interviewer: Was the change motivated by the fact that when you got these pills, you didn't know what was in them? Whereas with a natural diet, you know exactly what is going into your system?

Khan: Exactly. Don't get me wrong, Alex did a great job, but Michael is more of a nutritionist. Your body is like a car. What you put into it is important. You'd want to know if you're putting Diesel into a Petrol car.

some interesting comments from khan too.
