      Depends on the opposition. If your fighting high level opponents night after night then 2 fighters per year is enough. If your fighting contenders and trying to build yourself up like a GGG, then you should be having 3-4 fights per year.

      When GGG starts taking on guys like Froch, Bika, Ward and other 168 champions he won't be fighting 4 times per year anymore.

        That's my point. 4x versus top level opposition doesn't make sense. But he shouldn't go 9 months between fights. Fight a top level opponent. If you can't make the next top level opponent in the next 4-6 months then take a stay busy fight. And yes, there is pressure on the top guy as losing to a "bum" might affect the draw in the big fight.

          Fighters below the age of 33 should fight at least 3 to 4 times a year.
