Lol do you know what age is prime in boxing?

I'll give you a clue. It's not 23. Lol

Do you know when fighters generally leave their physical primes?

I'll give you a clue. It's not 23. Lol

Floyd's shell and shoulder roll style is definitely not new and something i'm pretty sure Leonard had seen plenty of over his travels. It would've been an interesting fight because Leonard had hella pop and i'm not sure who is faster in this case. Out of all historical fighters at WW I personally think Leonard is the one who really gives Floyd hell in a ring.

The Tyson who fought Douglas was the carefree Tyson who didn't take boxing seriously. The prime all business Tyson. The ruthless vicious kind who swept the competition like an animal Tyson. Will fuvk up Douglas like a twig. Everyone knows that lol

Everyone knows a prime Tyson mops that dude silly. If you don't get that. You need to think about moving to another sport bud. Seriously.

Lol really?

Past prime Tyson who didn't really give a fuvk in returning in the ring. He just needed to coz he was broke Tyson?

That guy was 10 steps slower than the real prime Tyson. Prime Tyson will mop Douglas from pillar to post if he was in A1 prime shape lol

If you don't understand that Tyson lost that fight due to his mentality rather than his physical attributes, then you're just a moron. Tyson was a physical monster when he fought Douglas, and lost due to his troubles outside of the ring. It had nothing to do with his strength or speed.

You don't seem to know what "prime" means, which means that you've likely never worked out seriously, or had a fight, in your life

What a disrespectful piece of shtt. Floyd outboxes him in any era at least 8-4 maybe 10-2

Whoah, wut? Aside from having the right to say whatever the hell he wants, Ray could be right. Floyd wouldn't outclass those guys like he does in this era, most of those would be pickem fights.

Lol exactly. You just made my case even stronger. Tyson that night wasn't the Tyson we knew.

Tyson who is focused would have eaten that guy alive.

He fought Douglas at the late end of his career granted he was still young. He lost a lot of steps. He didn't take boxing seriously, he ****d, he fuvked, he took drugs. he got in prison. He lost his coach which is like his father to him. He totally lost focused and the mental acumen to compete at the highest level.

A young prime Sugar Ray Leonard is my favorite fighter of all time but I'm still uncertain as to who would have won if these two met in their primes. They say defense wins championships. Will guess what? It also wins boxing matches and for this reason I lean toward Floyd Mayweather even though Sugar Ray is my favorite of all time. Just keeping it real...

Maybe, but Duran/Hearns/Benitez all had superb defence, and he got to them.

Ray had GREAT intangibles.

That is likely the hardest of those mythical match-ups to pick.

Yup, I'm over this conversation all the way this time. You don't know what "prime" means, AND you don't know when Tyson retired from boxing lol

Believe what you like. I'm gonna go find a boxing fan to talk to
