Lol let me ask you this: was Bernard Hopkins, Evander Holyfield, and Archie Moore in their prime when they were 26 years old?

AGAIN Inoue has a lot more years on him, so he has more time to improve.

Bernard was at his best when he was fighting RJJ; it's just that the competition when he was at his prime was so great that it made him look ordinary. When he got old, all the fighters ******; so it made it look like he was in his "prime". If Bernard fought in the olden days; he would have retired at 30 at best. Inoue has reached his ceiling; his skills have not improved at all from the time he was an early pro. His "skills" pretty much peaked at the amateurs.

Prime donaire would have one shot ko'ed Inoue. It would look like Montiel, but even worse.

Oh please, spare me with that immature response crap. As I said, every fighter reaches their ceilings differently. You didn’t even tell me about Holyfield, Moore, or Martínez’s “peak”. You can telling yourself that about Inoue but until he loses badly he still has a lot of time to improve himself, which I’m sure he can. Time will tell.

Flo_Raiden in his prime ladies and gentleman!

Figures.
When you can’t even find a mature response just act like a child. No point in arguing, it’s like I’m talking to a brick wall. My God.

Let's be real here, no man reaches their prime in their 30's. That's when all the testosterone goes down, and physical fitness becomes harder. Physical prime is 18-30 years old, everything after that you become a decrepit old man like the link I sent you. The fighters you say were in their "prime" in their thirties were ten times better in their twenties. It's only because their "prime" was so good that they were able to fight so long. Look at a fighter like Pacquiao, in his prime he was practically Hercules; no fighter could even touch him. Now at 40 years old, keith thurman (who at best is a b level fighter) was able to fight relatively evenly with the Pacman. This is undisputed truth here, take this L.

For sure prime Donaire beats this version of Inoue but these are fantasy fights like any other fight where the older guy loses. This is all we have. And Donaire lost a fight he probably could've won today.

Donaire gassed out after round 10; he should have capitalized on his earlier momentum, when he had Inoue hurt from that left hook. It's the only way.

At 118 I’m riding with Donaire. He’d have decapitated Inoue in his prime. This old slow Donaire had him stiff at times. Inoue is quite the monster but that just goes to show how unusual Donaire was before he hit 22. Inoue will improve and this fight was pretty violent and a great character and experience builder.
