You want more facts since you clearly don't know a thing about boxing? Tyson Fury fought the undefeated Derek Chisora early on in his career then 2 months later he fought Nicholai Firtha, Did you think anybody complained because Fury when from fighting a undefeated fight to something like Firtha? Do you think his "stock" went down? After that Fury fought Neven Pajkic, Martin Rogan, and Vinny Madalone before he fought a known person again in Kevin Johnson. Hell Wladimir Klistchko even when he was champion would face touch up fights. Wlad fought a washed up Hasim Rahman, Ray Austin, Alex Leapai ect.. A prime Larry Holmes went from fighting the 23-4 Roy "Tiger" Williams to fighting 5-1 Horace Robinson. Do you think anybody cared because he was a young fighter keeping busy.? Do you think his stock dropped? Latter on Holmes when from fighting the 40-4 Ken Norton to fighting the 19-8 Mike Weaver. A young George Foreman knocked out the top 10 Boone Kirkman who was 22-1 and 1 month later Foreman fought the 8-10 Mel Turnbow. Did Foreman's stock dropped because he was really active early in his career?
This is boxing kid. All fighters who want to be active early in their careers do this. You also want something little kid who should stick to watching cartoons? Anthony Joshua you know the guy who was heavyweight champion recently even talked about how current fighters don't get in the ring often and how that is a bad thing not a good thing.
