43 Year old Hopkins is Prime Hopkins ?

[Taeth]

Tarver wasn't, Winky wasn't better, he was way slower when he fought Hopkins at 170, way less sharp.

I think Joe is the only won that would beat himself in his prime as he is now. I think he has put on speed by taking off the power on his punches.

The point I am making is that regardless of who HOpkins has been fighting he was better in his prime.

Understood. But in bhops "physical" prime, he did not have the "skill" he has now.
Right now, imo, he is in his prime, technically. Not physically.
