I believe a true fighter would never surrender their ambition.

I realise that to him it's just a living. With that amount of losses it's clear he doesn't really care about fighting all that much
Tell that to the stable of Nobby Nobbs fighters.

PB and others like it are the meat of the fight game and it's very a practical way to be. I'm sure most people enter the game with the idea that they can be world class. Most soon realise they aren't and will never be. You have 2 choices.

Walk away from boxing or resign yourself to the fact that you can make regular money in a sport you love. Think of all the might have been, sky sports is full of them plenty get built up as the next big thing only to be found wanting and most quit. Fighters like PB will probably earn more over their career than those who quit because they'll never be world class.
