Sports science has changed and the boxers are fitter, yes, but in no way was Vlad "prime" against Joshua. Not even close. He bloody came out of retirement to fight AJ for the money, let's be honest.
You may still be able to fight at 40 and be in pretty good shape too, but that doesn't mean your stamina is at the same level as when you were 25. Neither is your body able to take the shots and recover the way it did when you were younger. The good boxers change their games and styles accordingly so reduce the risks.
He fought better than he had in years and looked great. Looked prime to me
