Can young pros have too many fights?

Not of that sort for fight, no. Getting out often is the best thing for learning and getting a good following.

 

You can never have enough fights at this embryonic stage. In fact young pros are not getting out often enough.

Look at how many times great fighters fought in the first few years. It's vital to development.

 

It's only a bad thing if they're fed stiffs every time and they're knocking them over without learning much.

 

But if they were all good fighters, good tests, thats where the risk of burn out occurs. Esp if they're fighting a lot.

 

They can fight once a week no hassle, don't need to take shocking tests in the first year, but different opponents help, sluggers, southpaws, negative survivors, all of these things will make a young prospect show/learn something different throughout the year, and prepare them for stiffer tests in their second year.

 

The problem with young pro,s boxing to much is a lot of there fights are meaningless and they dont learn anything from them . I think its good to have maybe 6-8 journey men fights then fight other boxers who are as good as them selfs so as to get better by beating boxers who try to win .

 

So long as there's a progressive arc of competition/duration then no.

I'd put more value in frequent, learning fights than hours upon hours of sparring with fights every 2/3 months.

 

This.

I would say you dont wanna get into a situation where the fighter is learning more in the gym than he is on the job, cause if that's the case it might mean the quality of opposition is not good enough. I would say having the right balance is important because when fighters dont run into problems they tend to stick with whats working, thus potentially not reevaluating what they could improve on. It only tends to be when mistakes get exploited (highlighted), that they knuckle down and work harder to eradicate them, as they know what to work on when its been exploited to a degree.

All fighters trot out the line "I'm still leaning", but how many times have you seen certain fighters making the same mistakes years down the line?

 

How many fighters will have got into double figures for wins fighting lesser opponents only for the fans to finally realize, when they lose, that they weren't all they were cracked up to be, and that one of the reasons they've had so much longevity without already being beaten, is because they've never been in a sink or swim scenario fighting a guy who's really gonna test them? Promoters will do everything they can to bludgeon as much money as possible out of the unsuspecting paying public, particularity the casuals, as its so easy to coerce public perception if you have access to media(a platform)

Haye might catch some heat from fans, but at-least he stepped up his competition relatively early.

 

Yep, arl Thompson in your 10th fight or whatever is mighty impressive here in the UK.

Tony Hill was meant to be Billy Joe Saunders next opponent a few weeks back.
