    imo heavyweights or not they are athletes in a spectator sport
    why should we dosh out money to watch them if they cant be bothered to get in shape and stay in shape

    in any team sport they would be benched / fined / and either sold or sacked

    as to wilder v fury / i had fury winning /yes wilder scored 2 knockdowns but even in those rounds fury outboxed him

    never the less the judges agreed with how you score fights.

    back to the 80s / the biggest difference looking back over all weight classes was the fact that most top 10s were more on merit than today with the exception of heavys {don king}

    all champs nearly to a man faced genuine ring magazine top 10 fighters in all there defenses
    today you can get fighters ranked by boxrec at 50 get a shot
    in some cases like corjanu top 100

    duran went straight from leightweight to welter missing out on light welter altogether

    I'm not gonna do the leg work for you but it wouldn't take you more than 20minutes. You can see the number of licensed professional boxers in the US for every single year going back decades and decades. Amateur numbers is much harder but you can dig up the number of sanctioned amateur tournaments held nationwide - it's very, very hard today for an amateur to amass over 200 fights like DLH,Mosley and Breland were doing in late 80's,90's.

    The number of licensed pro's (as a % of the US male population has plunged through the basement). The number of gyms and trainers have obviously plummeted as well.

    We're talking worldwide - not just US boxing.

    Anyway, could you direct me to the place, where I can see the number of licensed pro US boxers for every single year, going back in time?

    This.
    Modern food is pure poison or lacking in key nutrients.
    Heme-iron, B-12, creatine, cholesterol, carnosine and D3 are key nutrients for muscle health, yet not found in plants. Most eat a grain based diet, completely lacking in nutrients.
    And the nutrients that are in plants, aren't as bio available.

    Since DonnyMo apparently won't help… I wonder if there's another poster here, who will be kind enough to give me a link to this place? It would be much appreciated.

    Really… not a single one of you guys can help me out?

    I would be very interested to find this list, where I "can see the number of licensed professional boxers in the US for every single year going back decades and decades" (#35).

    So c'mon… if somebody out there knows about this, please send me a link.

    What's the best (affordable) way to get these key nutrients, so that I can implement them into my diet? What foods are most high in these departments, thought I would ask you as I'm a young guy trying to eat a bit healthier.
