Re: Name a fighter's absolute best years in the ring
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.

Re: Name a fighter's absolute best years in the ring
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.Originally Posted by Bill Paxtom

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.
