lol since when is it okay to get knocked out by Jones, then beaten two more times, then fight a bunch of tomato cans and go to war with Morales two more times and be considered in your prime? Its like saying the Ward trilogy had no effect on Gatti, or the Vazquez trilogy had no effect on R Marquez...
My analysis (from a non ****rider point of view): Floyd only fought one great fighter in their prime (Castillo), and Pacquiao also fought one (Marquez), which he fought to a draw. For those who don't think Castillo is a great fighter, consider this. People seem to be blinded by his early and late career and forget about his prime years. Heck, he even beat Ngoudjo while he was blown up and struggling to make 140. In his prime he upset Johnston and beat Casamayor and Chico (let's face it, in the first fight he would have won if Chico didn't spit out his mouthpiece to recover).
BOTH had opportunities to fight great fighters in their prime but didn't. Floyd could have fought Casamayor, Spadafora, Malignaggi, etc. and Pacquiao could have fought Soto, Guzman and Raheem. I reeeally think Guzman would have had a good chance of beating Pac, and same goes for Casamayor against Floyd.
