People talk about resumes and how fighters from like the 50s 60s fought way more but have you seen the calibre of fighters they were fighting Ray Robinson for example it's not a dig he's still one of the greatest of all time but he had a lot of fights against boxers who were making debuts when he was like 30-40 fights into his career now maybe this could of been because he just simply wanted to make money or maybe was harder getting better fighters to fight a black man in those days I don't get the bias towards modern day fighters fighting less
I understand your point, but nowadays it's gone too far the other way, whereby prospects and fringe belt holders are fighting once or twice a year, hardly anyone is willing to take any , belts are tied up, and the schedule is threadbare. No one begrudges a champion taking a soft touch or two between big fights to keep them ticking over, giving the fans something to watch, and also giving promoters the chance to give up and coming fighters a decent slot on the undercard.
In Robinson's first two years as a pro he went 7-0 against champs 5-0 against hall of famers 15-0 against top ten ranked contenders 8-0 against top three ranked contenders What an overrated resume filled with a bunch of cans am I right?
