Hatton 2004-2007
Despite a tidy win over Paulie after FMJ it was all down hill. Struggled with Lazcano, got planked by future Plankee King, Manny, and then came back to get stopped by Sencehnko, a guy Hatton would have had for breakfast ( or a mid morning snack at least ) during his prime.

Trinidad: '94 to 2000
His win over Joppy in early 2001 was epic... but TBH, Trinidad was going to run into a full-fledged MW sooner or later and that came in the form of Hopkins. His best weights were 147 and 154. His classic win over Fernando Vargas is still my favorite fight of all time.

Cassius Clay
April 1967 thru October 1970
They said that these were his best years. It could be true, as he was never beaten in the Ring for this time span.
But, Cassius could not beat his chest, stating that he was the best anymore.

"That is true. In 1970, I didn't have a damn thing growing on my chest either, other than 'mosquito bites'."
Donna Mills .... 1970 ... Age; 29
Height .......... 5' 4"
Weight ......... 112 lbs.
Shape .......... 33 ~ 24 ~ 33
Mosquito's .... 'A' {Small Bites}

He didn't look that sharp against Zora Foley. Did the war controversy begin before this fight took place? It may have had an affect on Ali's preparation for this fight. He wasn't quite as cut either.

Charles 'Sonny' Liston
1958 thru 1961
Sonny's wins over Floyd Patterson were 'expected'.
Sonny started to slow down at the end of 1960.
They started to call him ...... 'Mr. Molasses'.
But, not to his face.

3 years seems to come up again and again as a prime period of years.
