Re: How long should a Great Boxing career last? (# of title defenses)
Well longer it lasts the greater if everything else is equal.
But in practice there are other factors like Quality of opposition.
The number of quality opponents beaten at championship level is the best measure because some fighters like to pad up their record with bums.
Also it's weight class specific. The lighter the weight, the more fights you can have against quality opposition.
Obviously at HW one fight is worth far more than a fight at any other weight.
