How long should a fighter be protected?

[SEANIE]

As boxing fans its natural for us to always want to thrown in the best fighters against each other, and when they dont fight we're quick to call them names to say they are ducking etc. But, I have also read articles and threads saying that certain top prospects shouldnt be brought up to quick.

So which is it? When is it right that a younger fighter should be guarded against heavy hitters or veterans and at the same time how long is too long?

what do you guys think?

If a boxer can fight don't hold em back. Roy Jones JR beat a 16-1-1 boxer in his third fight.

He probably could have won a world title in his next bout he was that good.

Then again anyone remeber George Collins? Fought bums for like 100 fights then got twatted by Gary Jacobs and Kirkland Laing. He should have been held back his entire carrer.
