Floyd Sr admits: Mayweather not the same fighter but will still beat Pacquiao

Much have been said about Manny Pacquiao being past his prime, but according to Floyd Mayweather Sr., the same thing can be said his 38-year-old son.

For months, Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach has been on a constant chatter about Mayweather already being past his best, and that the brash American's legs are shot and no longer under him.

Ironically, it's an observation that even Mayweather's father and trainer Floyd Mayweather Sr. happens to agree with.

"I don’t care who he is, I don’t care who you are, he’s not the Floyd he was yesterday, he’s not that Floyd," Floyd Sr. told ontheropesboxing.com.

"He is the Floyd that can whoop Pacquiao and the rest of these guys that are around him, he’ll whoop all of them."

After spending 19 years in the professional boxing arena, Floyd Sr. argues that his son was bound to lose something through the years.

"Anybody that’s been fighting as long as Floyd’s been fighting, something is leaving you whether you’re still working at it or not, it’s still gonna leave you. That’s just the law of the land," says Floyd Sr.

"The thing is, you continue to get older and when you get older, sometimes things might not be as you see it is because your body sometimes doesn’t respond. Overall when anybody gets older, you lose something. Every year you lose something." - RAF, GMA News
