      why does this question keeps getting asked on here every once in a while??? yes, floyd is older, but their style wise, floyd is in better shape because of his defensive style. that's where the term "floyd waited until pac got old" comes in.. nobody is comparing who is older, obviously floyd is older by age but they're saying that floyd until waited pac got old (has taken more damage).

        Pacquiao is totally proving that theory wrong.

        But maybe it's the peds allowing him?

          didn't manny get knocked out cold a couple fights before the floyd fight. i rememember floyd fans saying manny only fought guys that were recently knocked out but now when floyd does it...

            Time doesn't pass for Floyd.

            He stays in his prime forever.

              he's not the same fighter as he was when he was fighting cotto though. he's still good but good in a different way. much more of a counter puncher, much more tactical. if you can't see that then i don't know...maybe im just lying my ass off...again!

                who said that though? nice straw man but that wasn't the argument at all.

                  Floyd offered 50/50 back in 2009. How is that waiting for Pacquiao to get old?

                      It’ll never end and always be discussed for boxing eternity because everybody knows that FLOYD DUCKED A PRIME PAC!

                      That 2015 fight was complete trash performance from both, and not the product the public was salivating for.

                      There’ll always be an asterisk next to that match, thanks to Floyd.
