What were some prime vs prime fights of the last 10 years? The only recent one that springs to mind is thurman/porter
What? There's one this weekend. Even if you're only talking about fights between guys in, say, the top 5 of their division a good few spring to mind. And someones 'prime' is notoriously slippery to pin down - it's not unusual for a guys 'prime' to be considered over after just such a fight. Ward - Froch Gonzalez - Yaegashi Martinez (though possibly past prime in hindsight) - Chavez Jr DSG - Matthysse Klitschko (prime arguable) - Povetkin Off the top of my head just fights between the arguable #1 and #2/#3 in their division who at least appeared to be at their best prior to fighting. And I'm sure there's plenty more. Then there's: Postol - Crawford Ward - Kovalev Still to come this year.
Pacquiao vs Cotto, Pacquiao vs Marquez II, Gonzalez vs Estrada, Donaire vs Rigondeaux, Ward vs Froch, Russell Jr vs Lomachenko, Thurman vs Porter, Crawford vs Postol, Khan vs Garcia, Lara vs Williams, Williams vs Martinez, Margarito vs Cotto, Mares vs Santa Cruz, Eubank Jr vs Saunders.
