Past fighters fought TOO regularly and in the interests of safety, no elite fighter should fight more than three times a year.

Agree to a certain extent

But for me a fighter should fight as much as he feels is physically possible for him.

If say Wlad klitchsko fights twice in a year and on both occasions blows his opponents away he is merely wasting his time in the gym when he could be fighting.

When you fight amateur you have to on some occasions fight 3-4 times in a night.

Some boxers out there at the moment could easily manage 5-6 fights a year still but choose not to because they know the real money is there to be earned from fights that need 2-3 months of promoting.
