Best past prime performances

[Jim Jeffries]

Physically, Lennox was past-prime in 2001, he was not as swift as he was when he sparked Razor Ruddock in 2 rounds. The discrepancies in athleticism are obvious to anyone who watches the tapes..

If Lennox had turned pro in 1985(age 20) instead of waiting for 1989, we couldve witnessed a truly remarkable fighter. SRR type dominance at Heavyweight.

So just to be clear: Lewis was prime for the Ruddock fight and also when sparked by Oliver McCall in less than two rounds? Or was he past prime by then?

Lewis' prime was 1996-1998 IMO. He had it all then - still young enough to be a phenomenal athlete at that time, and seasoned as well.

Odd how Lewis' prime was 2 or 3 years, yet people bring up a more than 12 year old fight to discredit Wladimir, while saying his legacy is shot if he loses to Haye. And just to be clear, Lewis was peak prime when he sc****d by a 35 year old Mercer, who was coming off a loss to Holyfield? Well then Zags is right, SRR type dominance at HW.


I'd say off the top of my head, Ali over Foreman, Holmes over Mercer and Hopkins over Pavlik.

I'm with ***** on Mosley vs Margarito in recent years. That was outstanding. Also, Tyson vs Spinks and Ali vs Williams come to mind.
