Could Mayweather still be as great at an old age like Hopkins?

      If he avoids the beating Pacquiao would put on him and continues cherry-picking, he has a shot.

        But i doubt Hopkins was doing all that sleeping regime crap at the age of 34.

        He was probably partying around that age as well.

        It's all about how Floyd jr. attidude is when it comes to the lats 30's & arly 40's, if he's still fighting.

          Not as long as Hopkins. If Mayweather wants to, he could make the adjustment that would allow him to fight on when his athleticism leaves him, but he won't. That is clearly not a goal of his to fight on for years and years like Hopkins does.

            But you don't know that for certain, now do you? All we can do is go by their word, they have no reason to lie.

            Hopkins usually tells you something like, I invested in my body in the 20's, so I can benefit from it in the 30's. I further kept investing in the 30's and now I'm benefiting from it in my 40's. When you ask him, what "investing" exactly he has done, he would tell you. That because of his religious influence (******), he has stayed away from partying, further explaining that it could get him into unintended altercations and in trouble with the law. I don't see any reported fights at clubs with B-Hop, do you? Or old footage in clubs, like Floyd? And the results speak for themselves, in the ring.

            And if he isn't partying, then he might as well be sleeping at home, but there is no way of proving that, now is there.

                  Is Floyd even this conscious about what he puts into his body? To make his own meals like that.

                    I think he can still be effective even as he gets close to 40

                    Mayweather is a CLEVER FIGHTER just like B-Hop, while Physical Skill certainly HELPS THEM...that is NOT ALL THEY DEPEND ON!

                    When it comes to their styles...70% of it is Mental! That and the fact that this ERA of boxing really don't have many "GREAT BOXERS" so these guys can hang around and EXPOSE a lot of these OVERRATED PROSPECTS!

                      Those who believe floyd main diet is junk food when he is not training because he says so, is a fool. Yeah he might grub at a fast food joint once in awhile but his longevity in the sport is due to hard work and great diet. Believe that. Crap diets promote injury, he rarely get injuries, knock on wood.
