    Andre Ward did it within 3 years after winning his first belt.

    Longevity is a brilliant career achievement when you've constantly fought top opposition, like Hopkins for such a long period. Staying at home beating bums does not count as longevity. It's a shame because Calzaghe could have moved up to LHW and mixed it with the likes of Hopkins, Tarver, Johnson, Jones Jr much earlier.

    He wasn't interested.
    Had Calzaghe moved up earlier, he'd have missed out on his career defining fights ie Lacy and Kessler.

      Calzaghes best career wins were as follows.

      1. Kessler
      2. Prime Robin Reid ( many had Reid winning this fight )
      3. A Vastly overated Lacy
      4. 70 year old Eubank
      5. 75 year old BHOP

      No other fights with elite fighters, mainly complete bums who should never have been given the right to a World title fight

              Kessler gives opinion on two fighters he fought and nsb gets salty because they don't agree.Ward for me is the better fighter and there are plenty of fights left for him to build an even better resume
