I mean other than the knee-jerk answers..... move them down the rankings, or...... take their titles away..... things that are already done. Is there another way to force the Wards and the Rigos of the sport to be more active? In what other sport do we have to put up with major stars performing once a year or less? Regardless of the reasons..... legal, promotional, lack of opponents, money issues, whatever..... this is completely unacceptable and bad for the sport. The only justifiable reason for a fighter to be inactive for a very long period of time is injury. Other than that..... it's all hogwash. You write a complete dissertation on the reasons why some boxers fight once a year, and it's all meaningless when you get down to the effects on the sport. Fans generally don't care (at least I don't) why Fighter X or Y aren't getting into the ring, unless it's because of health issues. The amazing thing is how guys like Ward can still maintain their fan base given their crass lack of activity. What is Ward averaging in the last 5-6 years.... less than a fight a year?? How is this even remotely acceptable to anyone? So what can boxing do, if anything?
