"Floyd waited until Manny got old"

[Suavecito80]

That is because Floyd is like Benjamin Button. He reverse ages. People are freaking idiots. This wound will never heal for pac terds.

[Kuyukut]

Seems like he'd be easy to beat then, yeah?

Damn shame Manny was out classed by a dancing, running, ballerina.

yep, seems pac can't dance... but if fraud fought like a prize fighter that he is probably it was more exciting.

So Pac can't sing, can't dance, can't play basketball, and he sucks at fighting compared to a dancing fraud coward ballerina. Is there anything Pac is actually good at?

floyd took a page out of the sugar ray leonard, damn this guy is a legit threat, let me let this guy lose a step (aka pseudo, let the fight marinate), school of boxing

He takes way better naps than Mayweather during a fight:

manny walked away due to testing that excuse doesn't apply

[GhostofDempsey]

The two years age advantage Manny had was nullified by the 17 more fights that he had on his record. Those fights will age a boxer at a faster rate than just two birthdays. The fact that someone had to create this thread two years after the fight tells us that the Fraud fans are still trying to defend his five years of ducking and excuse making. I can list ten excuses Floyd pulled out of his ass from the "retirement" to avoid a rematch with DLH and the prime talent at 147 such as Pac, Cotto, Williams, Margo and a slightly younger Mosley, to his false drug accusations which cost him a couple of million in out of court settlements, all the way to Pac has to leave Arum, Pac's PPV numbers aren't as high as mine, he has to accept a $40M offer, he didn't beat anyone to deserve the fight, and it goes on. Once the lawsuit was settled, Pac agreed to random testing, then Floyd moved the goal post yet again. It wasn't until after Pac's KO loss to Marquez that he smelled blood in the water and watched as Pac slowed down in consequent fights. Then, with the aid of unauthorized IVs to flush his system and coming in considerably bigger, he was able to run and clinch his way to a victory against a one-armed, past his prime Pac. And people wonder why this fight was called the flop of the century. If Floyd was so great he should have been able to stop Pac inside the distance or at least make it look as though he was in a fight.

The greatness of Mayweather is his ability to pull the wool over the eyes of casuals everywhere. Dupe them into thinking he is fighting elites in their prime or prop up C-level fighters to appear better than they are. Only Floyd could claim he is the best ever and out the other side of his mouth call all of his opponents C or B rate fighters. So how are you the best if you didn't fight the best and only fought so-called C-level fighters. Great business man, I've give him that.

You are trying to talk commonsense into these guys? Good luck with that party.

Explain this excuse - since we're now hearing it with Canelo/Golovkin and will probably continue hearing it after the fight.

May 2nd, 2015:

Floyd Mayweather was 38 years old.
Manny Pacquiao was 36 years old.


Golovkin DEBUTED at 24 years old. Canelo is JUST about to turn 27. They won their first lettered titles within one year of each other - aka Canelo was skilled as a teenager equivalent to Golovkin as an adult.

Yet somehow people believe Manny was "old", Golovkin is "old" and these A-side guys "waited" for aging...?

Its the truth.

There is a such thing called ring age. Certain styles burn out out sooner or faster than others. Some styles go through wars .

Floyds ring age was a lot younger than mannys.

Manny being knocked out cold by an old blown up marquez shows proof in
1. Manny wasnt at his best or peak any longer
2.his body and chin were battle torn
3.his ring age increased a whole lot more
4.mentally he would never be the same


Any boxing fan who doesnt know or acknowledge the fact that ring age exsists , being knocked out cold by a previous opponent , or that certain styles burn out quicker than others is a newbie.

Floyd is levels above a rios or an algeiri or a horn even at an older age in which his ring age was still about 30-32 when he fought manny..

Mannys ring age imo was about 40 years old when he fought floyd.
