Henry Armstrong, one of the 3 greatest fighters of all time had a relatively short prime, about 4 years.

No...just like his handlers I watched very carefully who he was matched up with and bet accordingly. So net dollars ahead. His handlers knew just what they were doing.

Pretty much can't believe it...but the guy who just might be at the of this list has not been named. How many rounds did Buster Douglas have in his prime? All contained within one fight if I recall.

how many boxers got to 'extend' their primes due to good matchmaking or lack of quality opposition?
