The problem is people arent conistant with it for example if they like a fighter he was past it when he lost but if they were glad to see him lose it had nothing to do with his prime

example

Nobody gave Berbick any credit for dominating Ali
but would ali have been in the top 10 p4p at the time ?

i think you have to judge everyone on their last performance

for example you cant treat calzaghes win over jones as if he had beat roy in his prime because it is obvious he was already declining before that however

say if someone was to beat hopkins now age shouldnt be considered the reason after the way he dominated pavlik
