When was Mayweather at his peak or is he at it now?

As far as Floyd being slower, I dont know how many people notice this, but he is always slow against Southpaws, and your basing this off his last fight. Against Ghost, Judah, and Ortiz, he's very slow. His right hand is almost like a cannon that he shoots out. All the fights against ortho fighters, he is exceptionally fast. Like even against Cotto, he was overtrained and sloppy, but he was still fasterhanded than he was against Ghost. As far as him getting better, Floyd is actually much more complete now than when he was younger. When he was younger he was a scrappy fighter with great defense. As he went to ww, he began to outbox and dominate guys the WHOLE fight, without getting grazed. I actually think his fight against JMM was the first time we seen the version of Floyd that calmly counterpunches, and goes the whole fight without getting hit. Also if you check his plus minus ratings, at ww he actually got more accurate, and more defensively sound. His plus minus rating slowly improved as he went up in weight. Check the numbers!

Great response mate and exactly what i was looking for, great observation with the southpaws, i looked back through the footage and this is completely true, thanks for your insight mate a really good responce

Younger floyd was quicker and threw more combos, older floyd is slicker and more knowledgable. So taking it all into account I don't think he has fallen off all that much if at all, indeed as an example, today's (discounting weight for a moment) floyd would have no trouble versus the castillo that gave him trouble. But also today's floyd (again putting weight aside) would probably not do such a demolition job on Gatti/corrales ... still win easily obviously but perhaps not so how would you say ... untouchable)

So i guess it's like today's floyd would be better at finding a way to win in a hard fight, the younger floyd could likely do awesome looking jobs on easier opponents but if he met say somebody like Roberto Duran would get murdered.

Mental peak = RIGHT NOW anin his fights vs SSM, Cotto, Guerrero

Physical peak = 135 vs Castillo up to the Gatti fight, in terms of speed of hand and foot and reflexes.

Ndou-Mosley was his prime

This is prime Mayweather and there is a big difference from this point of 2006 to now.
