    Have PAC and Floyd have slowed down any?

    If you look back at some of their fights they seemed more explosive and relentless...like when PAC fought oscar he seemed more explosive vs now when he fought Bradley he let up...I think he did the same with rios...Floyd also seems like he slowed down...compared to when he fought corrales, gatti or Demarcus Corley?

    Any thoughts?? Do u agree they slowed down a bit or did they change there style up some to more reserved? Any changed ya notice in the way they fight now?

    They're a touch slower than they were, but they are both mid-late 30s. It happens to everyone!!!

    For what its worth they are both still very much faster than 99% of all the other professional boxers in world class......

      I think Mayweather's slowed down abit, but still faster than most people, his work rate has slowed down, he doesn't use combos now, but he fights smarter

      Pac's still insansely fast, and probably just as powerful as he was before, seeing as power is usually the last thing to go. . . They both look fairly good, obviously Pac's been through more wars, so there'd be more wear and tear on him physically, most of his losses aren't so much to do with deflated performance, but 'carelessness' really.

        Let's see here, Floyd is 37, when he fought Corrales he was 23. No shyt Floyd has slowed down, that's like askin do you think Roy Jones Jr. has slowed down any since fighting James Toney 20 years ago? I swear people don't use any common sense around here.

          With HGH and Roids they are still fighting in an elite class. Boxers of the 70's 80's even 90's were pretty much done by 34 if you believe Floyd and Pac are fighting beyond 34 because of better diets than your not to bright cause I'm sure these fighters of yesterday weren't eating Lucky Charms and drinking Coke while in training camp . Only HGH can keep those ligament and tendons strong so the athlete can continue to compete against their younger foe

            They have gone over the hill a little which is only natural for boxers in their mid to late thirties but they are almost as good as they ever were and they are still the best.

              Wait, wait, wait, but I always keep hearing, "ha, Pac don't look so good without Ariza anymore! No more power pellets!"

              Like Floyd likes to say, which one is it?

                    Pump ur breaks homie...it was a simple question...yes I do know and understand how old they were when they fought whom ever X amount of years ago...there's no need for u to be all emotional on boxing scene over a small question...

                    u must be a die hard Orlando Cruz fan
