    Who is MORE Past Prime? Floyd or Manny?

    Floyd is older by a couple of years or so but Pacquiao has had more ring wars, more fights, more rounds, more sparring than floyd I think its quite clear both are past their primes in my eyes Pacquiao clearly has lost punch output and aggression that he used to have from Morales 1 up to the Margarito fight while floyd has lost a lot of his foot movement that he used to have at from his 135-140 early 147 days and stands more in the pocket.

    Who is more past it? Who is the fresher fighter come fight night if the two ever meet? Will Floyd suffer damage in the Maidana fight?

    Why are you asking questions that you already know the answer to?

      Manny because of his style. Floyd is a defensive fighter he could fight until hes 50 like Hopkins.

        Obviously Manny is, Floyd took easier fights and a "retirement"

          I'm much more of a Manny fan, but his style would tend to age more quickly. Plus, he fights a lot more often.

            Manuel, unfortunately. JMM took a lot out of him with that KO as well.

              It's obviously Manny. Floyd is a technical fighter so he can make fighters fight his fight. And win that way. Once Manny started losing speed and power he looks more beatable.

                We have to see how Floyd does without a slow plodding opponent, but I would say Manny has lost a touch; but not too much. He's obviously more hesitant after getting ktfo

                  Ring wars yes, but that's stylistic matters. The rest, no he really hasn't. Pac skipped amateurs, Floyd fought 90 amateur fights. While Pac was fighting 4-6-8 round fights, Floyd was also fighting 4 round fights. Floyd's 90 amateur fights + 45 pro fights even it out with Pac 63 pro fights.

                    Canelo is far from a slow plodding opponent, he's an exceptional boxer and mover, with very good defense.
