    You are pretty close to getting on daily red K status from me, your latest thread creating streak has been moronic and unbearable.

    You don't deserve an honest response, sadly some unaware dope on here will give you one.

    Stop asking ******ed questions and participate in actual boxing discussion for a change.
    what are elite prospects getting from beating fighters who arent even close to their level?

        Common sense should tell you that it is done to build up the fitness and experience required.

              Unless its a young novice, the fitness is already there, they arent some lazy slobs in the amateurs. rigo, usyk, lomachenko didnt need too long to build up fitness and theyve done okay. And my point what im asking, is what are people meaning when they say 'experience', because i dont think its particularly valuable experience when your beating fighters who cant land a glove on you.

                Son there are many styles in boxing, and you need to see them..and also the most important thing to build in a fighter is confidence...So you throw them in with a punching bag the 1st few fights then you find a more sturdy fighter..then after that you find a crafty journeymen...These are tests fighters must pass to prove they belong at the world class level

                  dont you think that fighters have seen all these styles before though if theyve been in the amateurs for years? Many of these guys have had hundreds of amateur fights. I just feel a lot of them could be moved along quicker, i dont think fighters need 10 or so cab drivers at the start of the pro career.

                    My ranking of him is irrelevant. He's not universally considered so.

                      Pacquiao and Wlad lost to low level opponents...
