Primes depend on the guy, how old he is, and how long he boxed. There is a particluar group of fighters I noticed lose theirs primes after 10 years
Just to say hey, after 110 fights your unprimed, doesn't make sense...Last edited by IwatchBoxing; 04-03-2006, 11:42 AM.Comment

The point of this thread was, a boxer can't be at his best after 110 fights, yea some boxers were still good like Robinson. But it is not possible for any boxer to be in prime after that many fights, a few can still be good. Also let's not forget that Robinson second career the man lost 17 fights, that came shortly after his 110 fights.Originally posted by IwatchBoxingPrimes depend on the guy, how old he is, and how long he boxed.

interesting opinions... presented as usual with little or no backup, nor empirical, nor logical.Originally posted by Gunstar1The point of this thread was, a boxer can't be at his best after 110 fights, yea some boxers were still good like Robinson.

FYI Robinson second career started in 1955 at the age of almost 33, after a 30+ months layoff, and the 1st fight of robinson 2nd career was his 137th fight.Originally posted by Gunstar1Also let's not forget that Robinson second career the man lost 17 fights, that came shortly after his 110 fights.
the fight, which was discussed in the other thread took place in 1950, when he was 29 and it was his 113 fight. Do the math
sure how many fighters are alive of those that had 100+ fights before their 30s?Originally posted by Gunstar1**** 110 professional fights takes alot out of your body. Just go ask any boxer.

Gunstar your arguments are so easy to dismantle, it's almost boring, but you make it fun by coming backOriginally posted by Yogi****, when talking about his 114th professional fight (TKO-4 Enrique Bolanos in 1949), Ike Williams called that "the best fight of his career" and "that's the fight that I would have bet my life on that I would have whipped any lightweight that ever lived"...Comment
