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

[Vadrigar.]

Did you ask this because of the older Barrera doing better against Pacquiao?

I'm fed up with people changing their stance on things depending on the fighter concerned and also this prime, past prime phrased gets thrown around far too much without much thought.

Oh I get it, the double standard lol.

There is no double standard, if you lose to Tagawaga then you suck...

Thank you for you honesty.

For me, Amir Khan is one fight away from ATG status.

I mean, a win over Prime Barrera puts him ahead of every fighter in the world currently. Along with his solid resume already.

One more win and he's a certified ATG.

According to the rules of NSB?

Before they lose = Prime

After a loss = Past prime/Shot

I guess that means pacquiao hasn't been the same since he took that awful beating against morales. so imagine if pac was still in his prime!

I disagree with you on this point, would go into more detail about this but, this is not the subject the thread was founded on.

I think the problem with this "prime" and "past prime" thing is people completely forget about where a fighter was at "at the time" of the fight.

I'm not saying that my theory can be applied to all situations. Of course it can vary. But from what I've seen on boxingscene, is multiple years pass and then Fighter A is called past prime, shot, or never did anything, but it's only because people chose to forget or really didn't know what was going on "at the time" of the fight anyway.

I think you would have to even go way back before that...try the Torrecampo fight LOL.
