He was 24 years old. 24! And wasn’t in his prime? He should’ve been and that’s why he will never be considered top 3 all time and why he’d never touch Ali.The debate has been "at their prime". Mike Tyson was no longer in his prime by Buster Douglas. Outside influences had ruined him. He lost Cus, he split with Rooney, fell in with King and Givens.... Who knows what else he was into? That was not prime Mike Tyson.
He was no longer in his "prime" because he had fallen sway to outside influences. He should have still been in his prime, but he basically just threw it all away by making poor decisions outside of the ring. As I said before, it really all traces back to the loss of Cus. Then he split with Rooney, and no one was looking out for his best interests anymore. Dude spiraled fast and hard.He was 24 years old. 24! And wasn’t in his prime?

a boxers prime is usually later than 24. its when ring wisdom catches up with athletecism and ability and happens later for boxers than most athletes. Mike never had a prime.He was 24 years old. 24!
