Why do ppl say Floyd waited for Pac to get older? Floyd is 2 years older

[dibzvincent143]

Freddie Roach admitted to Brian Kenny, that the fight died because Pacquiao refused random blood tests...

when Kenny asked Roach if fans would accept their reasons for killing the fight... Roach admitted that fans would find that su****ious

fans still do find that su****ious... pac-tards however, do not

that is only the difference here

FACT: Pacquiao could have simply agreed to take a harmless blood test

just like he did eventually, anyways

He already agreed months after the first negotiations..

But floyd was nowhere to be found because he was having long vacations and couldn’t be summoned by HBO.

He also said he’d never work with arum, but eventually easily did when the time was right.. sounds familiar with spence-crawford.

He didn't. He is vastly more skilled and experienced than Maidana but he was not close to prime there. His reflexes were diminished. Looked like his body couldn't execute what his mind wanted at times. Floyd looked shaky against Maidana compared to his prime, and looked pretty **** in his fights after PAC. PAC was still beating top welters 4 years later. Floyd was more shot, he just happens to be better than PAC

Never said he was prime. but he looked good against Maidana in the second fight and barely got touched.

Only a complete spastic would ever try to suggest that Pacquiao was anywhere near his prime in 2015 as well, so don't understand your argument.

Pacquiao literally took a nap on the canvas and had multiple losses in the few years prior to the fight.

He was further from his prime than Floyd.

When you're the GOAT your age doesn't come into play I guess.

Unbiased facts are out there if a so called fight fan is interested.

Interesting and thanks for sharing.However I sill would like to believe in Mayweather as a honourable fighting man and not see him as a coward.

Whatever happened I still feel Mayweather would have beaten Pacquaio in his prime albeit a close fight.

[Dariusz]

One think is certain -- Mayweather run his dull carrer greatly. However, he will never be remembered as the GOAT. To be a GOAT you don't need to win all fights but you need to be somehow crazy in his carrer.

I never get that too, the issue now is people are equating what is going on now with the top names at PBC to the "Mayweather blueprint" etc. Fact is Mayweather fought solid competition well into his early 30's. And even at his mid-30's he fought good competition. He wasn't spoon fed when he wasn't the cash cow, he did turn down HBO money calling it slave wages compared to what Prince Naz was getting, but he still was fighting great competition at his level when he was coming up.

[Ca$ual Fan]

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!

In terms of technical skills, he's more complete boxer now than before and much wiser but most of his physical gifts are gone already. His killer instinct is no longer there. He's now a more tentative boxer tamed by the JMM KO. Margarito kinda ripped some of his soul too

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).

The excuse chief Floyd Boy Larry uses is Manny was #2 p4p, and a beltholder, or something of that order, but that doesn't erase away the fact that Manny was clearly not the aggressive fighter he used to be due to the ring wars and being ko'd. Like that don't count for nothing.

The Floyd Boys also go to the Floyd is two years older excuse a lot, but the least shopworn of the two was clearly Floyd.

That's why I stick to both guys being in their prime for the most part when it comes to credibility. Makes things far easier.

Old=shopworn, but most Floyd Boys who been around the game fully understand these terms and what is being implied here, and how much of a factor it plays into how prime a fighter is.

It's funny, but also sad to see these Floyd Boys come up with excuse after excuse for the most logical, obvious stuff.
