    I know numbers are not necessarily indicators for greatness, I just want to know what are the absolute records, this time not in the number of fights but in time interval.

    Longest winning streak for a fighter?
    Longest winning streak for a fighter who was never defeated?
    Longest reign of a champion ever?
    --->Who retired undefeated?

    Is it all Ricardo Lopez? (16 years, 11 of world champion)


    Today’s undefeated fighters:
    If Mayweather stays retired: 11 years, 9 years of world champion (of course with 4 not-title fights during that 9)


    Calzaghe in 2008, with 2 more fights, and IF he’ll win both: 15 years, 11 of world champion. Will he break all the records? (Lopez had one D 3 years before he retired, so it wasn’t a perfect one, Marciano’s carrier was between ’47-55, it's only 8 years)

    The worst thing about it is he beat some decent fighters and seemed to have some real pop . Going by his record alone it appears the guy actually was a really good fighter and could have been a genuine champ.......such a shame .

    only 1 british world champ ever retired as a world champ and was undefeated and that was light welterweight terry marsh in the 80`s but he never had the longevity.

    yep
    her was a fireman and was in the marines.

    but he got kicked out when he failed his gun assesment tests .

    for some reason frank refused to ever name him .

    as a fighter he improved out of sight as he got older, i saw him fight clinton mckenzie live in a war but when he won the world title he became a pressure fighter from the stand up boxer he was before and at about 5.10 and letting his hands go non stop, with skill and not wild and with a good chin he turned into a very formidable fighter.

    i went to see him fight joe manley an american number 1 contender who was the favourite to beat marsh and marsh tore into him from the off and ko`d him with a left hook.


    long time since i have seen that looking back , i might dig that out and have a rewatch this week.

    he never gets talked about in british circles, he looked like bobby ball the comedian but he sure could fight.

    Going back to the topic: so if Calzaghe will finish his career with 2 more wins he will be the fighter who was fighting for the longest without a defeat and retiring with all wins?
