They say activity keeps you sharp but when you really think about it, fighting bums who pose zero resistance cant help you in any way. If anything, that can give you a false sense of security thinking that you are better than you really are.

Were you impressed by Shannon Briggs' recent run? U think those fights helped him hone his craft?

All these old school fighters you guys love to rave about fought these kind of competition while putting more mileage on the odometer unnecessarily..

Today's way of doing things are much better.. fight 3 times a year against quality foes and preserve the body for a longer career and better life after boxing..
They didn't fight three times a month because they loved the competition, they fought because they needed the money. I imagine there were some who liked the competition but not the majority.
As the money increased the number of fights went down. Now the fighters who like the competition fight as much as they can while the rest kick back and fight as little as possible. It's the money.
