Ronaldo de Lima (5 months older than Floyd), he was god of football in the 90s, retired in 2011

Ronaldinho (3 years younger than Floyd), he was god of football in the mid 2000s, started declining since then, was mostly irrelevant in 2010s

Kobe Bryant (1.5 years younger than Floyd), MVP and multiple champion in 2000s, his last season in 2015-16 was painful to watch, even a fighter like him admitted he could no longer hang with younger guys

So my point and question to you is, could these old guys from the pics even be considered top 1000 players at this point? Would you give some in shape, hungry 28 year old second tier player even a remote chance of competing with them? I think I would, aging is a real thing and physical prime is 23-29 once you're past it, it doesn't matter how good you were.
 
One of Lance's mates, Chris Horner beat up all the youngsters and won the Vuelta Espana (one of the big three week races of the year and the most mountanous) aged 41

Of course, it was utterly fucking ridiculous and he was gimicked up to the eyeballs. Ive seen some dumb shit in sport, especially cycling, but that was the most insane.
 
this bloke got better the older he got as well :')

Kobe scored 60 in his final game, against other professional basketball players.

Good point. Even the great Kobe Bryant showed aging around 40, and Kobe has a comparable athleticism (in respective sports), work ethic and disciple to Mayweather, and he's not getting punched in the face either.

Bruh, Kobe dropped 60 in his farewell game. He would still be one of the best players in the NBA.
 
Tom Brady is exactly Floyds age and just won the superbowl MVP.
 
Floyd still looked the same in his last fight when he was 38. He fought and won against Maidana when he was 37.
