Your post did NOT indicate that you meant Foreman was prime.
It said that Foreman may have always been dehydrated in his prime.
That did not imply that Foreman was prime against Young.

Which almost nobody believes.
It is very basic that "prime" does not refer only to what you could have been due to age & condition: anytime you are not at your best, you are not prime.

How can you not know that not just his shattered confidence against Ali removed him from his prime-& ring rust accumulated such as before the Lyle fight-that the conservative poorly leveraged, unnatural for him & power reducing, tentative STYLE they inculcated in him assured he was out of his prime in performance.

There were other ways to conserve energy, but that was a self-defeating one.

And you addressed nothing about the gratuitously unfriendly way you sometimes behave.
And the extraordinary amount of LOW ranking & personal antipathy/extreme bias you have against Foreman.

You’re just making excuses for him. He took two Ls in his prime largely due to stamina issues. There’s no changing that. He was mediocre if he couldn’t hurt his opponent.
