I'd say moreso that Pac was in his prime vs Oscar, Hatton, and Cotto. Although what he did during the featherweight era of fighting the likes of Barrera, Morales, Marquez (at 126lbs-130), looked like a man in his prime. He's just been a physical freak for a long time now.

Manny is a freak of nature if Freddie believes he's still in his prime. He's working full circle to get his fighter motivated for the biggest fight of his career. Or, Freddie believes we're all ****** to listen to that statement. Both fighters are past their prime, but still at the top.
Floyd's more per served due to his fighting style and taking less punishment, and he never gets out of shape.
Manny has been in wars from early in his career, to the Morales, and Marquez fights. His style is based on being athletic, with his bouncing, and movement. Hard to maintain that style.
Most experts says that a puncher will keep his power as he gets older. I've never been big on Manny's power over the last 3-4 years. Freddie would have us believe it's his religious beliefs, and I beg to difer.
At the end of the day, it really appears that Freddie is trying to build Manny's confidents and motivate him with all these crazy statements.Comment
