Sforno on Genesis 6:4/ספורנו על בראשית ו׳:ד׳

אהַנְּפִילִים הָיוּ בָאָרֶץ בַּיָּמִים הָהֵם. שֶׁקָּבַע לָהֶם הָאֵל יִתְבָּרַךְ הַזְּמַן לִתְשׁוּבָה, וְגַם אַחֲרֵי כֵן שֶׁלֹּא שָׁבוּ כְּלָל.
1הנפילים היו בארץ בימים ההם, these giants were not about until the last 120 years which G’d had assigned man as a grace period within which to do teshuvah וגם אחר כן, as well as thereafter, i.e. they did not repent and mend their ways at all.
