I say no, but some people think that one fight per year, like corrie sanders leading up to the loss to vitali, is "normal". http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1117544&postcount=80 What do you think is a normal activity level for a contender/titlist?
its annoying that boxing has become a part time sport at the top level,it would be very conceivable that titlists and contenders could fight every 2 months,of course the promoters would never allow this.
I respected champs like chavez and young toney who fought defend their titles 2-3 times per year and fight a few non-title bouts in addition.
