I'm not suggesting prime isn't a convenient way to cope with the fact many fighters fight beyond their physical peaks. I just think the...
no. i'm not. still, there's a lot of ass-holes out there who dress like shit. and some nice people who make a point of dressing well. but...
I think mws was saying that it flew in the face of what we'd expect that PBF dresses well. But I agree with you. It's fully in keeping with his...
The concept of, "prime" could be brushed aside if it weren't referenced so often as being a major factor in the outcome of fights. In my opinion,...
Sadly, you felt the need to equate one with the other when the fact is, the clothes someone wears give no indication one way or the other as to...
Actually, it's not so obvious because you just got done saying a fighter's prime is, "simply," when he's at his absolute best. And so by your...
Wouldn't a fighter's prime, then, span just a single fight? The one in which he looked his absolute best?
I agree with Irish that prime is a fuzzy concept that should be avoided. To illustrate, if you agree a fighter's performance varies normally...
Do it Kelly. Take a hit. Try the meth.
What a idiot. There's obviously no hope for Pavlik's career. Apparently, he thinks he can be a world class fighter, and still be a drunk. Ha...
Are we just debating now for the sake of debating? I thought the topic was, fighters who never lost in their prime?
Equally strange then that PBF regards himself as a King in this day and age. It's a fault of our civilization that an ego like his goes unabashed.
But not so in his loss to DeJesus, which irrefutably took place during his prime.
I don't think that's accurate.
That is fucking weird when you think about it. It's weird that Ellerbe's willing to do it, and it's weird that PBF appears comfortable having it...
I'm not so sure. Peterson will have a speed advantage he didn't against Khan. But more importantly, tr has apparently offered him a better deal....
This is why I think it's an important topic. Many mistakenly interpret the losses of top fighters as a signal their primes are over. And Tyson is...
Tyson was surely in his prime against Douglas.
It's hilarious pbf's lawyer calls the sentencing unusual. For those who didn't read the news, in addition to 180 days (90 days suspended), pbf...
Odh was a fun fighter to watch. Even the fights he had that were regarded by some as lacking action more than made up for it with drama.
I bet if Ortiz wins they try to make a pbf rematch. Otherwise pbf faces berto and pacquiao, bradley.
Somehow I don't see Foreman making the list. Arguello deserves mention though.
Yes, he's a prime example and belongs in the top 5 for sure.
Top 5 TWO handed punchers Who do you have? SRR Duran SRL Tyson Pintor These are guys who use both hands for power, round after round, and...
Pretty funny that even news about his criminal behavior isn't without mention of Pacquiao, and the fact PBF has been ducking him. :lol: Vegas is...
I really think Qawi's height would give Ward problems. He wouldn't have the leverage on the inside he's used to, and because of Qawi's jab and...
Showtime was overlooking a lot of what Froch was doing in their account of events. Thing is, boxing is so fucking corrupt - it's possible the...
This might ring true if the fight weren't such an obvious mismatch. This wouldn't even qualify as a big fight for ODH.
Hopkins!
