Re: Who determines who is in their prime?
You can only really assess a fighters prime after their career is over.
Age, number of fights, experience in the ring, level of performance, opposition ect are all factors.
Normally for a fighter their physical prime would be 28-30 years of age.
Heavyweight would be older now.
Hopkins got better with experience and guile later in his career.
You do get freaks of nature like Duran and Dennis Andries who kept of going when ordinary boxers would have been finished.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
