    Prime is a funny thing...Jersey Joe Walcott peaked in his late 30's...B-Hop at 175 never looked stronger than when he beat Tarver and Pavlik...Archie Moore peaked late...Foreman learned to relax and gained stamina to make up for what he lost. James Toney a 5"9 undertrained middleweight could have made a go at the heavyweights it he trained and got down to condition....James does no road work.... ever but at the age of 38 was top 3-4

    Daniel Zaragoza beat Hector "Acero" Sanchez for the title and then defendedit a few times. It was way past his prime.

    If you think Jeff Fenech's biggest achievement was his "draw" with Nelson, then that would fit under here as well.
