When exactly was Holmes' last 'prime' fight?

I think it was brutal beating of Randall Kobb. Just a fight earlier he stopped undefeated ****ey. He was 33, has defended title 13 times (11 KOs), and never had controversy in any of his defences (till Witherspoon).

But his next fight against, Lucien Rodrigues, Holmes failed to KO such a weak opponent. Lucien Rodrigues was knocked out THREE times by Larry Holmes' victim Evangelista. It was surprise that Rodrigues lasted full 12 rds.

Next fight was Holmes' first controversial title defence, against 15-0 Witherspoon. Later he had his hands full vs 16-0 Carl Williams and lost to Spinks.

I think it's the time (1983, Rodrigues and Witherspoon fights) when Larry's speed and reflexes started to decline.
