True.
But not everyones prime lasts that long.
Canelo might loose every fight after this and call it a day.
A loss this young might ruin or define him.
Floyd hasn't ruined a fighter in a long time, if ever though.

His prime might not be 10 years, but these days, many fighters fight well into their thirties, and not just Hopkins, but Calzaghe, Froch, Judah, even Malignaggi is pretty successful at 32. In any event, he has another 5-10 years of prime.
