        You're going to tell me that Winky Wright was in his prime at 36???? No way. Winky's prime was 1996/1997-2004. He was past his prime-still good from 2005-2007, when he fought Bernard. He also went way up in weight to fight Hopkins, and I thought that fight was close than 117-111, what 2 judges had it. I had it 115-113 Hopkins.

        People like Sergio Martinez, who's arguably in his prime right now at 37, are rare.

          Winky was rated #2 P4P when Hopkins fought him. Wiinky's 3 career defining wins were in 04 and 05 and most thought he had beaten Taylor in 06

            i'm not saying Winky was past it completely. But he wasn't "prime" physically anymore. Floyd is P4P #2, should be #1, but he isn't "prime" anymore. Winky was a good win for Bernard. I think fighters have 4 stages in their careers: Early Career, Prime, Past prime-still good, and Past prime completely. In 2007, Winky was past his prime-still good. When Winky fought Williams, he was past it completely.

              i say majority, the rest aren't even rated prior to the fight...

                was sergio martinez prime when he was 28 years old struggling against guys with 9-15 records? Some guys are late bloomers. Hopkins was certainly one of them, although still good when he was green too (so it's a good win for Roy Jones, but it wasn't a prime hopkins).

                    Then Sergio's biggest win of his career must be overrated as well.

                      Where the hell is Bernard over Roy? It better have been excluded just for the sheer fact that the second fight would be ruled the most overrated victory by default amongst this list.

                      at least Bernard was 28 when they first fought and Jones hasn't been one punched KO'd repeatedly yet.

                      At the time, Pacquiao over DLH was the greatest thing boxing has ever seen but in retrospect it's one of the most overrated wins ever lol.
