On the plus side, JCC was a pretty busy fighter. On the minus side, he routinely retreated to the friendly confines of Mexican towns to fatten his record against inferior opposition in non-title fights.

Re: X3 fights a year?
I'm all for quality over quantity preferably and while a top champion should do a lot of things..as the old saying goes 'shat happens'. Dates, opponents, injuries come up and next thing you know you end with Wilder defending 3 times against late TBA's. It all comes down to who you fight. Any heavyweight champ we can name may have had a 3,4 fights a year but you can bet that by design there was a soft touch that probably didn't scratch the top 20 list of viable opponents. And it's not all on the fighter, what promoters wants to realistically play all his best hands right up front? Promotors ruin everything. Fans certainly deserve the best vs best consistently but to play devils advocate good luck with that and I have a unicorn for sale. Then again Josuha holds all that shiny excess tin and he puts himself in a position to appease 2,3,4 alphabet soup groups in one night. He may want to think about quality over quantity himself and have one or two melted down rather than play puppet. Who really takes the IBO serious while were at it.
As it stands tonight he's out since Sept and needs to get his big toothy arse to work. I saw they offered Miller a fight in NY but it seemed half hearted.

That was because he was trying to get to 100 wins and 0 losses. There was no way he was going to do that if he fought top challengers every fight. It also allowed the locals to see the great fighter which was another advantage to non-title fights.

Exactly! Which is why I despise artificially bloated records and have personally never given a damn about his 100-win record. It's like having the tallest building in the neighborhood with some of the floors being held up by a few wooden planks, just for the sake of making it the tallest building.
