It is well known that the average athletes prime/peak is around 26-29 years old. Once they hit 30 they start to decline. Let's take a look at Manny's opponents and their age when he fought them:
Shane Mosley was 40
Juan Manuel Marquez was 31, 35, 38 and 39
Floyd Mayweather was 38
Oscar De La Hoya was 35
Lucas Matthysse was 35
Joshua Clottey was 33
Antonio Margarito was 32
Ricky Hatton was 31
The only fighters that Manny Pacquaio legitimately beat in their primes Marco Antonio Barrera and Miguel Cotto.
