    well he was coming off a loss. The thread started didn't acknowledge Judah since he was coming off a loss, so I would acknowledge Clottey

    Good objective list. Judah was coming off a loss but was still in prime. Prime fighters still loses you know

    I would have to say Hatton.

    Would anyone like to tell me Pacmans last opponent was in his prime.?

    No chance! Clottey was coming off a loss to a Cotto who was also coming off a devastating loss to Margo and was clearly not the same fighter and he couldn't capitalise!

    You're gonna have to go way further back then that!

    Exactly! Being prime doesn't tell you the whole story. And just cause you've lost doesn't mean you're no longer prime.

    Floyd: Hatton
    Pac: Clottey/Margo (Margo was in physical prime, just got whooped by Mosley and then weakened by inactivity)

    What in that statement means Clottey wasn't prime? When was Clottey prime? What about him wasn't peak?

    hot the **** does coming off a loss indicate NOT being in his prime? Let me guess, with you ****in ******s, all fighters in their prime win all the time right? :patsch

    First of all IMO Clotteybisnt even an Elite fighter and secondly I don't agree he was in hisprime when fought Manny. If I was to pick a time when I felt he was prime was maybe in the Margo fight.

    Also Margo was not in his prime either he had come back from a terrible k.o loss been inscribe for how long and then fought a nobody and didn't even look good how is that prime?
