The first 50 amateur fights = 1 pro fight and then every 10...

Theres too much difference between boxing and Amateur boxing to even compare. Of course amateur is a great learning experience to enter the pro game, but overall it's just too different.

 

With amateur records that span into the hundreds, you'll find that a large percentage of the record is from underage boxing where fighters fight a lot more frequently. Still impressive obviously.

But Lomachenko's 396-1 record is probably closer to about 96-1 in Senior Amateur boxing

 

50 equals more than one.................

 

The same is true of your first pro fight, you aren't fighting elite guys then either.

And while I totally agree that you'd be facing better opposition in the am's later on, that is clearly outweighed IMHO by the enormous amount of learning that occurs when you step into the ring for the first few times in a real fight, not just sparring.

 

Same as big ole Audrey

 

Like I said it's a great learning experience, but theres too much difference between amateur boxing to pro boxing to compare.

 

It also fails to take into account at what level the amateur fights were occurring. Lots of regional levels fights and comps don't compare to fights at the likes of the worlds or Olympics.

 

1 amateur fight is 1 amateur fight. 1 professional fight is 1 professional fight.

 

How does an 84-8 record equate to 4-0?

92 fights would be 5 pro decisions even by your whacky creation. I would chalk it up as a typo (meant 4-1), but you went on to add another 17 wins to that 4-0.

Or maybe you just mean that a guy can fight 350 amateur fights, go 26-24 in his first 50, then continuously going 6-4 every 10 fights equating to a 206-144 amateur record and consider that the equivalent to 31-0 as a pro.

Solid logic.

 

I've seen a lot of debut fights and usually it's a total wipeout, on points or the guy just falls over. In only a few cases the first "opponent" actually puts up a fight.

You can't honestly believe that's comparable to 50 amateur bouts, certainly not if quite a number of those amateurs you encounter would completely whoop that first "pro" you faced.
People seem to forget what a "pro boxer" actually is. It's a guy that steps into a ring to get paid, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't say anything about their level, as we've seen so many times in the past where you wouldn't favor the guy in a local barfight and just steps into the ring to collect his paycheck in exchange for taking a beating.
