    1) Are entering their prime?
    2) Are on the cusp of being non-prime?

    I don`t know how much AJ and Fury have left, Wlad went on for a long time but he kept himself in much better shape than Fury does.

    Crawford is on the cusp of being non-prime. You can feel it in his last few performances, Porter buzzed him once or twice and was winning the fight in my opinion. And Kavaliauskas knocked Crawford down (though I'm pretty sure they didn't count it).

    I think Spence might knock him out, we'll have to see what Spence looks like against Ugas though first. Thurman might beat him too if he gets his act together.

    Canelo , Usyk & innoue are all prime right now.

    I’d include Spence but think that lambo wreck did a number on him physically. Still an incredible fighter but have to wonder how much better could he be sans that incident?

    same with Tank Davis,
    I’d say he is prime but his failure to fight elite competition in his “prime years” could be stunting his growth & full potential.

    Crawford & Loma are on the cusp of leaving their primes.

    Fury, AJ & GGG are fading from prime for sure.

    The Crawford one can be hard to determine because that version of Porter was that much better than his last 5-6 opponents.. Looking vulnerable when steeping up in competition is no sign of slippage. Spence also because he did dominate Danny like never before so it’s hard to know until we see that Ugas fight.

    I think Bivol is at the tail end of his prime and believe it or not Usyk might have just entered his prime. Remember he could’ve been a HW his whole career but he decided to fight at CW, I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him yet.

    Everyone in boxing is falling out of prime. Where is the new fresh blood? They are hiding.

    Teo Lopez was looking good but then shrunk & fell off big time. That little man who Floyd likes isn't fighting anyone any time soon. He is 28 soon!

    So many divisions about to be wide open. Hell almost all of them!

    Shakur Stevenson is someone who is entering his prime he could still improve given his age and have several prime years competing for world titles.

    A lot of fighters at the top end of the Welterweight and Heavyweight divisions are on the cusp.

    Usyk.

    He hasn't been nearly as impressive as he was at cruiserweight, for his entire heavyweight run.

    Entering his prime: Josh Taylor

    i will have to argue against shakur entering his prime. I think he has a long way to go before he realizes his potential. and thats a good thin

    I'll get this outta the way: Canelo is prime, not entering so he don't count.

    Boots and Vergil Ortiz are both now just entering their primes.

    Golovkin is on the cusp of being non-prime. Derev. is probably now officially post-prime.

    GGG is definitely not prime anymore but that doesn’t mean that he’s shot.
