Why does it take boxers so long to fight ?

[Jabz]

All the real good boxers take like 5-6 months between fights. It slows the sport down.

in fights that are competive sometimes there are cuts and stuff they need to heel, but sometimes take the Golota Bowe 2 fight for example sometimes they take to much punishment and either have to retire or take a long time off

really, there are quite a few answers to this question. many factors that you have to consider. for example:

- most boxers take a couple of months to prepare for a fight, especially if there's a belt or high ranking on the line.

- fighters need a few months r&r.

- sometimes it can be tricky finding opponents(carefully managed fighters, promoter rivalries, etc).

- the more you fight, the more you can lose(on many levels).

- spending quality time with the fam.

- etc.

I say this because Floyd is one of my favorite fighters and fought back in April and has yet to even pick another fight yet alone train for like 2 months.

jabz, it is my theory that mayweather is actually afraid of losing. it's not that there is a lot of competition capable of *****g a beating on flyd, but i just get the feeling that his undefeated record means more to him than making great fights.

another reason is waiting for the results of another fight to scout potential opponents. you aren't going to fight just for the sake of fighting when you're one of the top names in the sport.
