Listen, boxing is a sport. In sports, you can lose! If you fight a bigger guy, you may lose. If you're sick, you may lose. If your opponent uses brass knuckles, you may lose. If you take the fight lightly, you may lose. If you're over aggressive, you may lose. If you have too much sex, you may lose. If your wife is messing around, you may lose. So what? It's the whole package you look at. If a boxer is a badass, he's a badass. If he loses once in a while...part of the game. NOBODY is invincible! Running around to keep your face clean does not make you invincible! Invisible maybe!

Sure he was still amazing, but way off his prime and I also think the current version of Wlad is his prime, he was younger and inexperienced then. But regardless i see sander Ko'ing his 10/10.
And yes, Wlad. So lets say Povetkin whoops him in September, guys ten years from now would say on a Forum that Wlad was out of his prime when he lost to povetkin.

I know people will argue that he was past prime back then but I don't buy it, he's still a world champ now, 8 years after the fact.
Any other examples
