    Because Pacquiao was on PEDS. Notice how Pac-Thurman has no VADA testing

      Floyd had 2 fights at 38, retired on top and beat the second best welter in pac

      Pac had the horn fight at 38, which even if you think pac won, he still had a rough night against an unknown australian school teacher


      The fights Pac had after floyd's retirement age are:

      Lucas Matthysse - shot
      Adrien Broner - who didnt have a win in 2 years and that was a split decision over Granados
      Thurman - had one fight in over 2 years where he struggled with his tuneup Josito

        Yet Pacquiao took way more punishment, was way more entertaining, and still managed to stay champion into his 40s.

        How was he able to do it?
        I think it's two totally different mindsets.

        Floyd wasn't hungry wanted big money fights against limited opposition and retires when there no more short flat footed slow fighters to exploit.

        Guys like Broner and Thurman should beat a waay past prime Manny simply because they are good and younger, but Manny seems to have a hunger intangible that Floyd can't match.
