How long should a Great Boxing career last? (# of title defenses)

[ykdadamaja]

Does the weight class matter? Amount of title defenses? 10 years? 15 years? Who will set the bar to discussion?





Inspired by Ykdad's Berto-Lopez thread

Til you can't go no more at the top level, or even near the top level. I'm not gonna stay in, no matter how broke I am, as a journeyman with my last 10 fights with a record of 2-8..... makes no sense..

LOL!
So then you must be an anti-Reggie Strickland fan

66-276-17
Side note- outta the times I have boxrec'd this guy- today is the 1st time I paid attention to his ko ratio.
1987-2005 18 years = 14 KO's a ratio of % 3.86 .

Sounds like a sadist...
