    You've got to spend years building up in small shows/undercards with little reward and no guarantee you are ever going to make it to the serious stakes. & make a decent living out of it.

    Lot of admiration for the guys that keep at it, but the constant training was too tough for me, so it's more of a hobby these days to keep in shape.
    Great contribution to a thread that was beginning to cave into the trolls.

    Boxing on any level is tough, but as you climb the ladder closer to the top it becomes incredibly difficult. I have a lot of respect for professional fighters.

      Good Questions! I am curious as well because it is a lot of guys here who think they know more than Trainers, Managers and Promoters

      Me Personally, I am just a Hardcore Longtime Boxing Fan!

                  That's really cool, mine was Tyson/Ruddock 1.

                  And not long after that I met James Buddy Mcgirt before he lost to Simon Brown I think it was.

                  That made a real impression on me and have been a loyal fan ever since. In fact, to be honest I really don't watch any other sport.

                    Buddy actually beat Simon in what was a masterful performance
