I'm gonna try to make this as easy to understand as possible so that anyone who actually wants to open their mind and discuss something can understand it.
Federer was ungodly dominant at age 24. Players are really not all that different at 24 than they are at 26. At 26, Federer was already worse than a 22-year-old Nadal.
So what happened that Federer went from tennis god to debatable #1 in the world?
You either have to argue that he got a lot worse, or the competition got a lot better. The conversation will go nowhere until this question is answered to satisfaction.
