    Look at JCC jr he is just 25 and already has 42 fights. Maybe when he retires his record would be 235-0, and probably would be described as “The Second Greatest Boxer who never won a major title” after Wickmar or even first, because he'll have perfect record.


    Just look at this kid, you see so much hunger in his eyes, he is ready to fight up to 10 fights a year.

      Of course and is it not weird to you that fighters in the older eras fought 100s of times and went on to be healthy men,then the 70s hit and i believe truly science destroyed a lot of these guys,men are to fcking strong these days no sport is natural at least on the world yes fckers that means soccer also.

        Inactivity is one of the worse things for a fighter. If you aren't fighting, it's likely you are not in the gym training. In time you can lose muscle mass and even worse muscle memory. Which is the reason come backing fighters are prone to injury.

          I think he will pad his record with at least 50 more Tiajuana taxi drivers.

              i'm guessing boxers these days dont fight as much as the old days is because the risk of long term injury. I mean, if I became a boxer, id fight as less as possible. I dont wanna end up with parkinsons.

                Too much money involve now a days networks wont even pickup a fight unless they have a couples months notice in advance so they can promote it.

                  I dont think that has much too do with it too be honest,boxing is safer than its ever been,guys have less fights because boxing is more of a business than it ever has been imo
