How long does a prime last

Come on, everyone is different, if there was a simple formula to figuring this out, then there would be no need for a forum.

 

I am sure a big contributory factor is how disiplined a fighter is outside of the ring, some fighters of recent vintage got to the top, seemed to be poised for a lenghty stay at the top, then fell away, they could have had fabulous lucrative careers, and come back from defeats, but wasted their talent, Lack of disipline, determination, desire, motivation, call it what you will, but the mindset of a fighter is probably the most crucial piece of the Jigsaw. Talent can be improved and honed but its no good without the fuel of dedication.

 

5.63 years. Always. No exceptions.

 

:roflatsch

Mike Tyson was as Prime as it gets against Buster Douglas. He was like 25 years old for christ sakes!

Douglas stomped a Prime Mike Tyson.

 

Close it is acatualy 5.6299998 years but I geues you can round up. If you want.

 

Some fighters have fairly long primes like Lennox Lewis and Oscar De La Hoya, I'm thinking 4-6 years for both, some have short primes, like Naz - 2-3 years.

 

Age doesn't mean a goddamn thing you thick ****.

 

I suppose the wind of the shots Spinks thown at Tyson, made Tyson age faster??

Tyson before Douglas was never in a war. Guys like Armstrong, Nelson, McGoven(Terry) They come and go in a flash. And by 27 or so are past there best. But thats not because they got old, its that these guys been in WARS. And the beatings they took and came back to win. Tyson was never in a fight to age him as fast as these guys.

Tyson was prime.

 

Depends on your style.

 

Come on, if you are going to be technical, at least be thorough; it is 5.62999981

 

Agreed. I noticed how boxer/punchers like Ali, Louis, Holmes, Lewis, etc all had relatively long primes. But the swarmer/pressure fighters like Rocky, Tyson, Dempsey, Frazier, etc, expired earlier, like in their early 30s. But the boxers fought well until their late 30s. But again, everyone's prime is different...

 

i have just made the mathematic formula for it

length of prime= age x fights x Pie x the circumfrence of the fighters biceps x weight x age of person using the formula x how many drinks you have had

it works real well try it

 

1 fight. Mike Tyson's prime fight lasted under a minute; therefore, he would beat any boxer in history, since no boxer can win a fight if they've been knocked out in the first minute. Ergo, Tyson is the best of all time.
