TheProudLunatic can you answer this? Since age is just an excuse right? Dumb fvkc

I can only assume you have Beter on your "mind"

[MulaKO]

Many boxers today starts late pro and/or fighting 1-2 times yearly are also factors. You have Beterbiev with just 20+ fights at the age of 40, in comparison Pac already had 70+ fights by the time he reached the same age. They have the same Age but different mileage as Pacquiao was way past his prime at that point of his career.

Beterbiev has 300+ fights in the amateurs in his defence
Fighting the likes of Kovi and Usyk to boot

So much potential revenue wasted.

Yup
Once upon a time it was a springboard for future Olympic entry’s but not anymore
Need to look no further than Loma
Potential revenue without doubt but also professional success which in turn would bring all positives to a gathering

100+ practice "fights" are a waste of time.
Unless you start out at 15 and enter the pros at 20.

I wouldn't want me or a fighter I'm training to get accustomed to being a professional amateur

Get that money while you can

Different times and different goals
I’m sure if they can go back and redo it they would
Chit happens , many just didn't know better
Eapecially Europeans , it was their scapegoat

Euros are dumb
