    Eder Jofre had ridiculous results even 'past prime'.

    Beating Legra and KOing Saldivar would be insane for a prime 22 year old Featherweight. Let alone a 37 year old former Bantamweight!

    Tommy Ryan was at the top for a while, despite a lot of hard fights.

    Still being successful doesn't neccessarily equate with being prime.
    Seeing some of the names offered below I think that should be pointed out.
