What fight was Mayweather's peak?

[Beercules]

I think it’s probably before that but I always said that was the last fight of his prime.

After that fight, his legs never looked quite the same in my
opinion. They were still very good but just not quite as great as before, the spring was gone slightly.

I agree. He looked amazing but after, legs weren't there.



Still great defene

Floyd at 140.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Physical peak: possibly the late 90’s to early 2000’s.

His peak performance year as a fighter though was 2013 for me, he was so much better from an IQ perspective later in his career.

Arturo Gatti

Yep...140 was his peak prime

[IronDanHamza]

2007.

10 years world level experience under his belt and also close enough to his physical peak (2005)

That was the best version of Floyd.

Not too sure. maybe Hatton. Maybe Canelo. Defensive fighters have an older peak because they rely less on athleticism, and with more advanced age they gain a greater edge on younger opponents as they gain greater mastery of defence.

Floyds entire defensive style depended on athleticism..you ever see an nonathletic person trying to defend like Floyd??? go look at Oscar trying to shoulder roll and you see what I mean

[GhostofDempsey]

2007, the year he got a gift versus Oscar. Then “retired” to avoid a rematch. Ready for the nuthuggers protests in 3, 2, 1....

To me it was during the Pretty Boy years before his hands turned to tightly compacted sand. God he was a pleasure to watch then. I know he had to adjust his style he just became very boring to me.

[Dodger07]

The Gatti fight at 140 he had the Speed, power, reflex, skill, size, experience and was at his peak age.

Corrales....
