Whenever I want to find a boxer's record I never search by name, I click the current number 1 at their weight class and click through opponents until I get to them using my encyclopedic knowledge of the sport.

I watched some Calzaghe career retrospective on Youtube the other day and wondered after the shellacking that Jeff Lacy took how many fights he had after that and how long until he boxed again.

So I went..

Alvarez
Callum Smith
George Groves
Froch
Ward
Sullivan Barerra
Lacy

There might be a quicker way of doing that one but I always get there in the end. So is this just me?

The answers were 11 fights over almost 9 years and 9 months.
