      Saul Alvarez will be an elite fighter. He is only 19 and has 30 fights. Also he fights 7-8 times a year and actually has a fight in March then another in May. So I can Mosdef see him as a 100 plus fighter.
      yeah he could do it if he keeps fighting at this pace, but I'm not sure if he's going to be elite yet

        Heres a few who reached 100 bouts (some had alot more)

        Sugar Ray Robinson: 200
        Archie Moore: 220
        Roberto Duran: 119
        Julio Chavez: 115

        just a few from the top of my head, theres a lot more. Correct me if im wrong but i think Chavez was the last guy to reach 100 fights retiring in 2005. Hopkins is at 58 (59 inc Roy Jones) but he'll never make 100. Wlad is on 56, which is good but most modern day Boxers will unlikely have even 50 fights under their belt by the time they call it a day. Is it even possible to do now lol ? ?
        no this is not possible in this era

          That was my first thought. Julio Jr. will do it on PPV and several fights after his 100th he might even meet his first contender!

                Tavoris Cloud will most likely reach 100.

                hardyharhar. But in all serious. No elite fighter ever will. I doubt Saul Alvarez would. As soon as he gets bigger fights and keeps winning he wont stay busy.

                      I can't see it happening. State Commissions actually suspend boxers now-a-days, if they take too much damage in a fight. So if you think about it, alot of guys may only get 20 fights in a decade.

                      Where back in SRR's day, he could fight every saturday and monday until he retied.
