4 or five times, unless he suffers a cut, that should be the only reason for long layoffs..

minimum 3 times IMO. I would understand if they don't want to take punishment especially at the hw division level so even 4 fights might be too much but they should fight alteast 3. any less is just ridiculous for a main representative of the sport.

I know some want a champ to fight once a day to prove the haters that the champ don't duck anyone. Fighting everyone from pro debut to bums to untested champs to old past prime champs up to heavyweight from flyweight

l would have been nice. I would say 2-3 in todays game. We don;t get to see enough of our favourite fighters. There is no reason why they cannot fight 3 times a year. Throw in a tune up or two and one or two major one's. Boxing needs stars, and not stars who are inactive or appear once a year.

minimum 3, ideally 4. 5 if they have big cojones!!!! for instance. Manny should be able to fight right away after being completely untouched against Diaz. Same for Pavlik. Can't hate on these guys though because by the typical standards they are very active Champions.
