    i heard pacquiao was in his prime when he lost all 3 of his fights.

    pacquiao however has never beat a fighter in their prime.

      Pavlik lost in his prime to Hopkins who was past his prime (although you could use the going up in weight excuse but he shouldn't have underestimated the Hop really).

        whether he did or not, he lost.
        I know but I thought the thread was a joke thread. Saying that people always make excuses to why people lost in their primes. I was just listing some excuses lol not defending Lewis

          Oh alright mate. I love Lewis and was gutted for him after that fight. He was breathing heavily and Rahman got a sweet punch. Loved that Big Len done him a round earlier in the re-match. I have all the newspapers from the day after. Haha.

                  many of the best fighters have been beaten in there prime. but it only happens mostly when they're (on the rare occasion) fighting against another good fighter in there prime!!!

                    Joe Louis vs Max Schmeling #1.

                    Slapped around and had to QUIT. All after he just brutally ko'd his last 6 opponents which were some of his best wins too(Baer, Primo etc.)
