Mike Tyson fought 15 times in 1985 his first year as a pro is that a record?

[sentax]

That's almost a lifetime of fights at the rate present days boxers fight. Is Mike's 15 fights in one calendar year a record for a modern heavyweight?

What a beast.

[Luilun]

That was normal back in the old days but primadonnas today want to fight 1 or 2 bums a year for 500 K a year

Not even close? Which HW from the last 60 years even fought more times than that in 1 year?

Jack Bodell had 16 fights in 1965.

Jose Manuel Urtain fought 19 times in 1969.

Not in the same calendar year, but in the first 12 months of his pro career George Foreman had 20 fights.

Perhaps a modern day record but old school fighters used to do it all the time.
