    Just wondering if anyone knew of fighters who have a high fights to big fights/world title ratio.

    For Exmaple Froch and Hatton have both had 8 or 9 big world title (not including Hatton's WBU day as its not a proper world title) fights but Hatton has fough 47 times and Froch has only fought 31 times.

    Kostya Tszyu fought only 34 times but had 17/18 world title fights which is half of his fights being big fights.

    I'm not sure Hatton had 8 or 9 fights at the level discussed here.

    de la hoya had 45 fights...i think 29 were world title fights

    if i'm right i think its around 65% of his fights were title fights.

    Evander Holyfield won a Cruiserweight world title in his 10th or 11th fight. He must have had over 50+ fights.
