Mike Tyson fought 15 times in his first year, should fighters be more active?

If you can dispatch them like a young Mike Tyson, okay. But who of this crop is doing that? It ain't the Tyson we got now, I know that, mate.

 

Canelo had 15 bouts in his first year & JCC fought 11 times. Both still undefeated

 

I think ali had like 15 1 1/2 years in his prime, when he came back to the sport.

Fighter now r a disgrace

 

All fighters are overly active early in their careers.

 

Yes they should.

For example a guy like Rigo only fights a couple of times a year.

Cause he depends on the dates that are available for big fights.

And since he usually fights at Pac's undercards he doesnt fight nowhere near as much as he should.

 

Hell yes it will improve the overall quality of the sport ..There would be more stars if this happens ..

 

well when Tyson became elite he fought much less, when champion only 3 times a year!

 

Anyone can fight 15 bus drivers in a year.

 

The one reason Mike was in the ring so often that early was because they had him in the gym EVERY DAY.

They knew he was a timebomb, and Cus D'Amato told Kev Rooney this... keep him active.

 

If your fighting 4 and 6 rounders than it makes sense to fight as often as possible to learn the craft and build skills.

 

When you are a PPV attraction it takes time to promote. That's the reason for the big breaks. For those who are not, yes they should fight more frequently.

 

Yeah but thats much better than once or twice a yr !!

 

He was a fairly active champ.

Tyson had nearly as many bouts from 1985-91 before incarceration as Lennox Lewis did over the entirety of his career.
