Pity WhiteHope has been banned... he could give you the exact answer you wanted!

dammit i was gonna say that scab!! but for real though you should have a decent amount of fights. i would say 50 or more if u wanna make it somewhere in the pros.

Not necessarily.

I don't think the number matters - i don't think even the amount of wins/losses you have on your amatuer record count too seriously - as a good amateur does not necessarily make a good pro - and vice versa.

The bottom line is - if you are fit enough to fight hard and effectivly enough over multiple 3 minute rounds and are of THAT standard. Then you can be a pro. But you gotta be ****ing brilliant to be at a pro standard and be incredibly devoted.

Yeah, he looked good at first but couldn't maintain it. Years of amateur experience helps to not only condition the body, but condition the mind as well.

A good test IMO would be to compete on atleast a major natl scale with others in your weight class. This would test your skills and determination. Since to compete on that level you have to put forth some serious effort and commitment to the sport. I'd say 25-50 fights min in the AM's but I'm sure everybody would have there own pace and any advice giver would have their own idea of how to scale your ability in a Pro atmosphere. It's hard out there. Tons fight for years and never get a TV appearance or a paycheck that would cover the cost of training and time off work for training. It's a long hard road man. If you are good yeah it's worth it. But the odds of winning the lottery might be just as good as getting 5 mil fight contracts.

Just wanted to bump my reply and repeat.
