Once a fighter has 10 pro fights, he should fight the best.

depends on the age & the opponent caliber

like Canelo fought at least 30 bums from the age of 16-20 because he was young & lack of amatuer experince. Then you have Loma who turned pro at 25 with over 300 amatuer fights & 2 gold medals he has no needs for that many bum fights. He 'Loma' went straight to fight a contenders in his first fights.

I don't Depends on their amateur experience. But, I will say that once you win a world title, you are ready to fight anyone, no more pampering or prep time.

IMO Mikey Garcia & Gervonta Davis are perfect examples on how to manage the career of a young top talented boxer. Started their pro careers in there early 20s fought at least 10 bums/5 journeyman & a few contenders then fought for a title.

You tell em Maxi. You shouldn't wait until you're 34 years old and 36-0 to fight the best! Especially when you've had over 300 amateur fights

**LA_2_Vegas** · 05-03-2017, 10:33 PM

I understand the sentiment

but just rearrange the thought process....what you're saying then is that once a fighter is recognized as one of the best, they should get to fighting 10-0 guys.

I don't give a shiet about their "zero". I want to see the important fights.

Surprises me that some people talk about some 25 years old grown men like: "he aint ready for that yet". WTF. In other sports you see 20 years old kids winning huge tournaments, dominating. And boxers must wait until they have 30 pro fights? WTH. It's all about business for those who think like that.

Well scientifically speaking, boxing is a whole different sport than those that you are trying to compare it too. According to an ESPN article talking about the most physically demanding sport in the world, from an experiment conducted by scientists who study muscle and movement in United States Olympic Committee, Boxing was ranked the #1 most physically demanding sport in the world.

Boxing is literally like no other sport. So cut those who participate in it some slack.

Here is the partial list:

Boxing
Ice Hockey
Football
Basketball
Wrestling
Martial Arts
Tennis
Gymnastics
Baseball/Softball
Soccer

Full list and stats:

http://www.espn.com/espn/page2/sportSkills

We sized them up. We measured them, top to bottom. We've done our own Tale of the Tape, and we've come to a surprising conclusion. Pound for pound, the toughest sport in the world is . . .

Boxing.

The Sweet Science.

That's the sport that demands the most from the athletes who compete in it. It's harder than football, harder than baseball, harder than basketball, harder than hockey or soccer or cycling or skiing or fishing or billiards or any other of the 60 sports we rated.

In Page 2's Ultimate Degree of Difficulty Grid, boxing scores higher than them all.

Debate sports' degree of difficulty with Page 2's writers and experts in The Show

But don't take our word for it. Take the word of our panel of experts, a group made up of sports scientists from the United States Olympic Committee, of academicians who study the science of muscles and movement, of a star two-sport athlete, and of journalists who spend their professional lives watching athletes succeed and fail.

They're the ones who told us that boxing is the most demanding sport -- and that fishing is the least demanding sport.

We identified 10 categories, or skills, that go into athleticism, and then asked our eight panelists to assign a number from 1 to 10 to the demands each sport makes of each of those 10 skills. By totalling and averaging their responses, we arrived at a degree-of-difficulty number for each sport on a 1 to 100 scale. That number places the difficulty of performing each sport in context with the other sports we rated.

There are many different factors, but mainly after 20 yo they should be fighting at certain level... no need to have 25yo prospects.

Once a fighter has 10 pro fights, he should fight the best.
