Mayweather will crush him.

You can't pit 35 years of experience of someone who achieved the highest level of expertise and performance in his sport against someone with a few years experience at the same.

Motor learning 101: The foundation of skill and expertise is time and repetition. There is no such thing as a "prodigy" in anything. Skill and expertise take time. Show my an incredible 8 year old girl playing something incredible on the violin and i'll show you two dickhead parents with music backgrounds, who made her practice 1000s of hours. There are no short cuts.

This is how your brain works. There is no shortcut around this fact.

35 years of repetition coupled with world class coaching, world class feedback and correction coupled with world class desire to correct ones self along with 1000s of rounds of sparring (fight specific experience) and over 130 fights vs a guy with only a couple years of the same.

That will never happen in a million years, unless by complete luck.
Would this still be true of floyd was 45 years old? 50?
Age factor is definitely in play as well, at least include it in the whole picture
