As a rule, I don't use the beginning and end stages at all, and fight most of my fights with both fighters at prime. Even post-prime seems like the penalty is too big. I took Coburn and Allen to post-prime on 1/1/1880 and neither has won a fight since then.
My prospects stay at the bottom of the division and fight the club type fighters and other fighters until they have 10 fights. Then I try to advance them gradually. One difference is that they will also fight anyone else in the game on the date the fight actually occurred. I move fighters to post-prime as late in their historical careers as I can justify, generally after the age of 35. The first group (Goss, Allen, Heenan, etc.) is gradually being moved to postprime, even though they should already be there, because I wanted to start with a mature group of prime fighters while Sullivan, Kilrain, Godfrey, and Mitchell work their way up the ladder.
