Boxing Statistics - Number of Prime World Champions Beaten: Pacquiao leads Mayweather 12-3.5

Could be Canelo being 23 at the time. Guys don't reach their physical primes until around 25-30.

 

It depends on your definition of prime.

Many considered MAB past prime going into the Hamed fight.

Many considered Morales past prime going into the first Pac fight.

Diaz was prime, but many considered him to have received a gift vs Morales.

The others I don't think anyone disputed seriously how prime they were but I get a sense you wouldn't consider them prime has Floyd fought them.

 

Clenelo is in his prime now. The Floyd fight was almost 7 years ago and at a catchweight.

 

Canelo won the title he had at a catchweights and also volunteered to come down to 152 because he felt comfortable at that weight

Your position is a 22 year old world champ is not prime but hatton that just got knocked out by Floyd and drained went back down a weight class was prime when pac fought him. Solid

 

Algieri had come off of beating Ruslan. Ortiz had taken a vicious beating from Maidana and was knocked down twice by Berto and almost stopped before fighting Floyd.

Clenelo is in his prime now. The Floyd fight was almost 7 years ago and at a catchweight.

 

Hatton stopped Malignaggi just before the Pac fight. Go ahead and list the guys who stopped Pauie before Hatton did.
Hatton was slightly past prime. But i'm sure in your silly little head that means SHOT.

 

So Clenelo has been prime for 7 years?

 

Yea. Hatton was prime after getting knocked out at ww by Mayweather and then moved back down a class?

 

Hatton got knocked out from exhaustion/poor conditioning fighting at a weight that didn't suit him. He didn't take a hellacious beating from Floyd.

 

130 for mayweather

 

I'm so glad today's boxing fans weren't around in the 1910s-1950s

What so he's prime after fighting 27 times in three years, losing 5,drawing 4 and being knocked out once for a 10 count?

They'd be having a field day tearing down resumes.

 

Yeah dumbass... everyone fighter who was KO's is then PAST PRIME.. Good logic ass hole....

 

Was Canelo or was Canelo not a world champion?
Was Ortiz or was Ortiz not a world champion?

Both in their 20s.

You mention Ortiz being dropped by Berto but not Algieri taking huge punishment against Provodnikov?
