Fighters that don't fight often enough

Hopkins is at the end of his career now. I think he is going to retire very soon.

I would be surprised if he fights again tbh.

hmmm now that i think about it mosley hasnt fought since jan and doesnt have anything lined up. Cottos fighting soon, pac just fought, floyd doesnt fight til july, hell he might not fight another few months which aint good considering his age.

I know he is getting older but I still like watching James Toney.

Andre Ward should fight more often.

Chris John- Hopefully stays more active

Paul Williams- Has enough talent to fight more often.

Lamon Brewster- A decent heavyweight who can still make noise.

Mikkel Kessler should becalled the "Invisible Man." I can't stand inactivity because it frequently translates to cherry picking.

Nonito Donaire - hopefully Top Rank will keep him busy

Kessler
Williams
Forrest

How much of williams not fighting is his fault?? Think he is at the point where he deserves good fights and not just against bums. So I think it will be a catch 22 for him. If he fights often it will be against bums and he will dominate or he is going to have to weight and probably still dominate. :) not biased towards Williams at all ;)

Paul Williams has fought 5 times in the last 15 months. How is that not often enough? This while being boycotted by the welterweight division. I think people jumped on the bandwagon after one person said it.

It was an ankle injury then a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined.

Others:
Can't believe no ones showed the biggest bust of recent times some love. Joan Guzman.
Abner Mares (eye injury)
Nonito Donaire (after the biggest win and the upset & KO of the year he goes for almost a year without fighting, waste of talent)
Zsolt Erdei (twice in 2 yrs.)
Can someone go wake up Tavoris Cloud and tell him he was one of the hotest prospects and also that he won an Eliminator bout
Brahim Asloum (injury)

Daniel's case I think is more of being avoided... High risk, moderate reward...

I'd read Sergio Martinez wanted to fight him but Daniel claimed he wasn't given enough time to prepare. Then on boxrec I saw he was going to fight Mayorga on May 30th but with Mayorga, he may have backed out of it too. I'm surprised Santos doesn't just fight or at least defend his title so he can let people know he's a viable guy & one of the champs. Maybe he should fight Paul Williams - 2 lefties who can both claim nobody wants to fight them.
