That's a pretty good argument.

However, since OGDogg conditioned Redman several times, he would be aware if the dog was at his best or not up to that level.

In other words, Redman was clearly strong enough to kill his opponent back, but that doesn't mean he was at his best. For example, a prime Mike Tyson with the flu might still be able to KO a lot of men, but that doesn't mean he was in the best shape of his life.
