Enough of the Tune Ups

Am I the only one who thinks tune-ups are just an excuse for fighters to fight weak comp and pad their records. I mean Leonard sat on the sidelines for 3 years and came back and fought perhaps the best fighter in the world at that time. If you don't know who I'm talking about I'll give you a hint, his nickname was Marvelous. And even if you don't agree with the decision you can't deny the fact that it was a very close fight. But now days you have guys like Ward who needs two tunes just to fight a decent opponent. Seems like a waste of time to me. And Ward isn't the only one. And also title defenses and tune up should not be in the same sentence. If a fight is considered a tune up the titles shouldn't be on the line, period point blank.
