    Thats what i thought.

    Anyway, it all depends on how tough his fights are. If he gets throw them realitively unscathed, then i'd like 4, but i'd be happy with 3.

    2.5 :lol::lol:

    Anyways a true champion should fight at least 3 times a year. I would like to see them fight 4 times.

    2-3, if there is a war then 2 is good.

    I would like to know the logic behind this? What if a champion has very little KO power, fights 3 times, 2 of them goes the distance and he wins 80% of the rounds. Should he be punished for his lack of power yet brilliant display in the ring?

    Once every 3 months seems a bit much at top level

    If a fighter actually respects his body and the sport then it is not that hard. Unless of course they have been in an absolutely brutal fight then it is understandable they let their body rest.

    That's 5 fights in 2 years. Or put in another way 12/2.5 = 4.8 ~ a fight round every 5 months.

    Damn you guys are picky

    At least 3.

    It used to really annoy me when Tszyu was fighting, he was/is my favourite fighter but even before he was injured he was fighting like twice a year, its no good.

    At least 3 but preferrably 4.

    Unless they are injured at least 2 and they should aim for 3 if one of the first two aren't grueling affairs.
