Comments Thread For: Tim Tszyu keen to fight twice more in 2025, says his manager

[Poopdick]

4-5 times is for non-title prospects, but asking an uninjured guy in his 20s to be fighting on average 2 times per year for a three year span shouldn't be that hard, or maybe atleast follow up a year of one fight with a year of three fights or something like that. By the way UK doesn't have that many beltholders in his 20s to begin with so hard to compare directly, but for what its worth the two beltholders they have at the least stays active: Daniel Dubois (age 27) 6 fights, and Nick Ball (age 27) 8 fights since 2022. Note that I only did a quick lookup of the guys I can quickly jump from the "current list of boxing champions" page on on wikipedia so forgive me for not being able to cover any of the "this UK guy is in his 20s and fighting a crap ton and is on a verge of a beltholder so he should be counted"-guys.

As for a template? If you are not injured (beyond normal wear and tear of a fight), if someone fights once between Jan-June and once between July-Dec every year without putting more than 6 month in between then that is automatically 2 or more times a year. If someone gets a fight in once every 4-5 month, occasionally that is a 3 fight a year if you make you first fight prior to March.

Inoue fighting again in December. that'll be 4x within a calender year. going back to last December I believe. should be standard practices

This won't be an easy fight for Tszyu.

The other future American "star" boxers aren't exactly setting a great trend even at a much younger age than Crawford though. I mean there isn't that many that has averaged 2 fights a year for the past 3 years.

In a three year span, the following under-30 American boxers currently with a belt have had so far:
Boots Ennis: 4 fights (5th scheduled November)
Tank Davis: 4 fights (5th scheduled December)
Devin Haney: 5 fights (with lawsuit and everything who knows of his future)
Shakur Stevenson: 5 fights
Teo Lopez: 5 fights
Sebastian Fundora: 4 fights
Mario Barrios: 4 fights (5th scheduled November)
Lamont Roach: 3 fights (4th scheduled December)
Bam Rodriguez: 6 fights (7th scheduled November)
Anthony Olascuaga: 6 fights (7th scheduled this week)

By the way I love you Bam Rodriguez.

I'm much too lazy to see if any of the mentioned has injuries.
Not all of them are top tier.

2x a year seems to be the norm among top tier guys.

it is hell to have to think networks while following fighters, but there it is..............

One would imagine that half of a pie is better than none of a pie but then I'm no genius running a network so what do I know ?
I do like pie though.

If you're a Boxing fan , you've got to love a fighter like Tim Tszyu. If only everyone else had that same attitude boxing would be in great shape. Being busy is the best thing that a fighter can do. That's how you improve , stay sharp , and build a legacy. It's hard to be in great fights if you only fight once or twice a year , the odds aren't with you. A lot of these once a year fighters that people are calling great now will hardly be remembered twenty years from now and inactivity will have a lot to do with it. Keep on keeping on Tszyu. Rumble young man , rumble.

I think we're ssting the same thing because i agree with everything you say. And tells the marqee guys aren't going to be nearly as active as the youngsters because it cost to much. The top rank guys between 122-135 fight at least 5x's a year. Shyte I've seen Abdullah Mason do much in 2024 I'm starting to get sick of that Lil fuqer haha

PBC and GBP could be getting set to make a very good run at 154 undisputed 2025-26. Man if only PBC and GB were on the same network. If only .........

Although I agree with you 100% a d wish that these guys were fighting way more often o would like for you to show .e a template of how often a fighter should be in the ring nowadays. You focused on the American market now show me how they move in the only other boxing market in the UK. Please give us a very granular and detailed list of which guys are fighting 4-5 times a year since I guess the UK is the model for success. Thanks ill wait
