Prime is just as gray a term as p4p or h2h.

    Why do we use the term prime? What does that even mean? Physical prime? BS because wlad was better after his physical prime. Manny pac became a more versatile fighter in his 30s.

    Ali's greatest acheivements cane after his prime and layoff. Bernard Hopkins achieved greatness after he lost to Taylor.

    All this " he didn't beat him in his prime" talk is all relative and complete bulllll

    Prime is a weird argument used to discredit wins or undermine losses

    I mean yes there are cases where a guy is really far gone like 1980 Ali

    Just another way for fans to discredit fighters.

    It must not be gray for Floyd since he takes top names NOT in their prime. It must mean something to him.

    I just MADE an OP clearly identifying and breaking down my reasons as to why "prime" is a meaningless term. Can't you read you farmer? :patsch. Why then would I strike up conversation with you when you clearly give life to a term I've just killed in this thread. Peace out *****, shoo, no trolls :hi:

    You tried to kill a term and a concept that exist and that you'd prefer that would not exist as a Floyd fan. Not my fault. And no, he hasn't beat my favorite fighter. I'm just tired of the mascarade I'm witnessing, the condradictions and the bull****ing surrounding Floyd.

    who said anything about floyd? :patsch what a dumbass. please get out. I would ask you to write something worth reading regarding your argument. Problem is, even if you tried, you'd fail. Your insecurities busted through the internet as soon as you said anything about floyd and pressed submit. Now please press X and SUBMIT YOURSELF into a library

    I was simply giving an example and a proof that the term "prime" is NOT as grey as you think. Floyd was simply the first example that came to my mind. Kind of funny that a troll is saying this to me:patsch

    which is relative until hindsight. its just dumb to even use the word prime. When was Wlad hardest to beat? Holyfield? Lennox?

    Cotto was said to be DONE and now hes the CHAMP. :patsch
