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

[JmH Reborn]

THen he takes a loss and all you casuals will just deride the fighter as being exposed/hyped etc

It's a L/L dealing with boxing casuals that parade as hardcore.

I mean think about how much **** Loma gets for taking a L from the Salido fight

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

The body and brain stops growing at 25 years old actually (not height but just your size in general, height stops before). Which is why if you smoke weed before 25, you'll impede your memory, but actually smoking weed after 25 is perfectly fine. Taking repeated shots to the brain at a young age, well I don't even have to tell you, just look at all the retired boxing scholars we have. You'd think that they have neurological issues because of the simple fact that that they were boxers, but I bet it's actually because they boxed too young and impeded their brains.

Which is why Bernard Hopkins, Sergio Martinez, Antonio Tarver are all still perfectly fine and speak well. They started later, not exactly at 25, but around there, and Tarver a little later than 25. If you bring up the amount of fights a boxer has as actually being the cause, remember that Hopkins fought for nearly 3 decades in 67 fights. Martinez fought for almost 2 decades, in 56 fights.

Joshua is a perfect example, he already has fought 4 contenders, 2 world champs, and an ATG in less than 20 fights, and his next fights will be most likely Pulev, Wlad2, Fury, Ortiz, and Wilder, all top 7 heavyweights

There's not a person on here who wouldn't do the same thing if they had the talent and smarts to make money.

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

If you have had 50 amateur fights, put your hand up.
If you've had 100, keep your hand up.... what about 200 fights???
300 fights, please put your hand clearly up. Over 350 amateur fights, keep that ***in hand up.

Now, those with their hand up... how many have had over 35 pro fights??
How many have won 3 world titles??

Ok, those with their hand still in the air, feel free to criticise. Go hard without repercussion.

The rest of you keyboard warriors can shut the f@#k up.

What a ****** ***ing idea. Yea some 20 yr old who fought 10 times in 2 years and hasn't gotten his grown man strength is really ready for a 30yr old hardened pro

[SkillspayBills]

I can tell you've never fought a day in your life. Only someone that's never been in a ring to "take" a loss would suggest something so damn ignorant.

[EspinozaBoxing]

i don't agree with that at all. Each fighter progresses at their own pace. Also depends on amateur experience and other variables

[Elroy The Great]

id say 15....just to make sure mr 15 fights has built up a fan base.
