When is a fighter in their "Prime" and past their "Prime"?

[Bee Keepz]

dudes past their primes are in business like never before.....Arum is always looking for one of them to dance with his cash cow.....thats when you know a fighter is past it...when Arum puts his name in the same sentence with his main man and is WILLING to make the fight happen!!

Damn, Floyd Mayweather Junior is past prime.

Another one that annoys me, is when fighters don't prepare properly and people claim they are past there prime.

No they just didn't prepare properly.


And the other one when a fighters performance drops by a couple of percent, not the best they have ever been, they are suddenly past their prime.

A fighter is past their prime when they; Get beaten by a journeyman named Zahir, get beat to a pulp by a guy with bricks in his gloves, loses his biggest fight and then gets a draw with a Latin Snake, gets suspended from the country for a year and fights at a catchweight AND fighting at a weightclass the boxer has not fought at in 7 years.

These are all indications a fighter is passed his prime. Glad to help ^_^

A fighter is out of his prime when he get beat by a nobody like Torrecampo or Singsurat.

Prime is both physical and mental imo. Once your physical prime goes, you can't really get it back. It's about maintaining a balance between these two, make sure that both are maturing at or near the same pace. Fighters like Floyd and B-Hop are not necessarily in their physical prime anymore, but they are not SO far from it, where they still can't take advantage of their in-ring intellect. A lot of young fighters take advantage of their physical gifts and ignore their mental development, those are the fighters that don't last.

Nope...once you lose once your out of your prime :lol:.

The only thing I know for sure is that prime Barrera (Barrera from 2007-Present) would destory the Barrea of 2003.

Thank you for you honesty.

It depends on the individual, someone who relies exclusively on reflex as oppose to craft will leave their prime earlier.

When they start losing fights they should of won.

This covers it..

Oh you're right. I forgot to add the word 'consistently'.

Airtight.
