There's a saying in Boxing that history proves is so true "A fighter can get old in the ring"

Some retire before this happens just like Calzaghe did after showing glimpses that his punch resistance was fading (Hopkins then Jones back to back)

Some go on too long and make fools of themselves just like Jones, Holyfield etc

Boxing History is littered with so many examples of this and is anyone seriously trying to say that Mayweather hasn't been showing Big signs that he's slowing down with every fight in the last 2 years and conveniently hand picking slow plodding fighters?

Pacquiao still has an incredible engine and speed, is also a southpaw and can still punch.

And comparing Gatti etc to Pacquiao is ridiculous.

This is Floyds toughest fight to date and he's taking it on at an extremely late stage in his career.

I have nothing but respect for him for taking it because i never thought he would not at this stage of his career but the advantages are largely stacked in Mannys favour.


Like is said i fully expect to see Manny stop Floyd inside the distance
