Although you are right, but the fact is world class players like LD and LCW are beginning to be able to read PG's game and anticipate his shots much earlier. PG's game tactics has not really changed much over the years.
@Jonc108, I think you tried to say that the younger PG may still not be able to withstand the younger opponents (LD, TH) either
Well, back to the original IF statement, IF PG being 5-year younger but having all the advantages of his today's accumulated experiences & maturity WHILE all his main opponents remain the same as today, YES, PG will have much better competitive chances against them!
It's something equivalent to install a turbo engine on PG![]()
