Once a fighter has 10 pro fights, he should fight the best.

i don't agree with that at all. Each fighter progresses at their own pace. Also depends on amateur experience and other variables

I can tell you've never fought a day in your life. Only someone that's never been in a ring to "take" a loss would suggest something so damn ignorant.

What a stupid fuking idea. Yea some 20 yr old who fought 10 times in 2 years and hasn't gotten his grown man strength is really ready for a 30yr old hardened pro

You tell em Maxi. You shouldn't wait until you're 34 years old and 36-0 to fight the best! Especially when you've had over 300 amateur fights If you have had 50 amateur fights, put your hand up. If you've had 100, keep your hand up.... what about 200 fights??? 300 fights, please put your hand clearly up. Over 350 amateur fights, keep that fukin hand up. Now, those with their hand up... how many have had over 35 pro fights?? How many have won 3 world titles?? Ok, those with their hand still in the air, feel free to criticise. Go hard without repercussion. The rest of you keyboard warriors can shut the f@#k up.

There's not a person on here who wouldn't do the same thing if they had the talent and smarts to make money.

Joshua is a perfect example, he already has fought 4 contenders, 2 world champs, and an ATG in less than 20 fights, and his next fights will be most likely Pulev, Wlad2, Fury, Ortiz, and Wilder, all top 7 heavyweights

There are many different factors, but mainly after 20 yo they should be fighting at certain level... no need to have 25yo prospects. The body and brain stops growing at 25 years old actually (not height but just your size in general, height stops before). Which is why if you smoke weed before 25, you'll impede your memory, but actually smoking weed after 25 is perfectly fine. Taking repeated shots to the brain at a young age, well I don't even have to tell you, just look at all the retired boxing scholars we have. You'd think that they have neurological issues because of the simple fact that that they were boxers, but I bet it's actually because they boxed too young and impeded their brains. Which is why Bernard Hopkins, Sergio Martinez, Antonio Tarver are all still perfectly fine and speak well. They started later, not exactly at 25, but around there, and Tarver a little later than 25. If you bring up the amount of fights a boxer has as actually being the cause, remember that Hopkins fought for nearly 3 decades in 67 fights. Martinez fought for almost 2 decades, in 56 fights.

THen he takes a loss and all you casuals will just deride the fighter as being exposed/hyped etc It's a L/L dealing with boxing casuals that parade as hardcore. I mean think about how much **** Loma gets for taking a L from the Salido fight

I don't get this idea of "he's not ready yet". Well, if he's not ready, then he will learn from the loss. I don't give a shiet about their "zero". I want to see the important fights. Surprises me that some people talk about some 25 years old grown men like: "he aint ready for that yet". WTF. In other sports you see 20 years old kids winning huge tournaments, dominating. And boxers must wait until they have 30 pro fights? WTH. It's all about business for those who think like that.

Well scientifically speaking, boxing is a whole different sport than those that you are trying to compare it too. According to an ESPN article talking about the most physically demanding sport in the world, from an experiment conducted by scientists who study muscle and movement in United States Olympic Committee, Boxing was ranked the #1 most physically demanding sport in the world. Boxing is literally like no other sport. So cut those who participate in it some slack. Here is the partial list: Boxing Ice Hockey Football Basketball Wrestling Martial Arts Tennis Gymnastics Baseball/Softball Soccer Full list and stats: http://www.espn.com/espn/page2/sportSkills We sized them up. We measured them, top to bottom. We've done our own Tale of the Tape, and we've come to a surprising conclusion. Pound for pound, the toughest sport in the world is . . . Boxing. The Sweet Science. That's the sport that demands the most from the athletes who compete in it. It's harder than football, harder than baseball, harder than basketball, harder than hockey or soccer or cycling or skiing or fishing or billiards or any other of the 60 sports we rated. In Page 2's Ultimate Degree of Difficulty Grid, boxing scores higher than them all. Debate sports' degree of difficulty with Page 2's writers and experts in The Show But don't take our word for it. Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes succeed and fail. They're the ones who told us that boxing is the most demanding sport -- and that fishing is the least demanding sport. We identified 10 categories, or skills, that go into athleticism, and then asked our eight panelists to assign a number from 1 to 10 to the demands each sport makes of each of those 10 skills. By totalling and averaging their responses, we arrived at a degree-of-difficulty number for each sport on a 1 to 100 scale. That number places the difficulty of performing each sport in context with the other sports we rated.

I understand the sentiment but just rearrange the thought process....what you're saying then is that once a fighter is recognized as one of the best, they should get to fighting 10-0 guys.

Yeah, how about no How about showing some arguments...

Yeah, how about no

I don't Depends on their amateur experience. But, I will say that once you win a world title, you are ready to fight anyone, no more pampering or prep time.
