The Boxing Scene Mentoring Program

[Nash out]

I did not assign a mentor to Starship ******.

I am hoping Bundana will take this crucial assignment. I am going to go put it in the main assignments post right now.

Who should Nash mentor? Nash out - Boxing expert. Viva La Fury.

Yes, we could for example look at The Ring's year-end top-10s for 1930, and calculate the numbers for this group of boxers. We could find their total number of career fights, their average number of fights in 1930... and also the length of their respective careers.

Since we in such a case would be dealing with the best fighters in the world, we're eliminating all the journeymen with very few fights - so the averages would obviously be VERY different from any randomly selected group. The average number of career fights would certainly be MUCH higher than 34! Also I would expect the average number of fights during the year to be higher than 3.31 - though I'm unsure how much higher!

I have never given the length of a career much thought! Did the top old-timers have longer or shorter careers than their precent day counterparts? I would hate to hazard a guess, as I really have no idea - but it's an interesting question.

if anyone has the time to look into these things, I would be most interested to see the result(s)!

Also I meant to say the length of the careers average would affect the frequency of fighting average. Since my first (ignorant) claim was fighter fought 12 times a year. Im curious what the average was among top 10 fighters.

id heard sayings like a boxer is old by 30, likely because boxing was a hard trade if you fought all the time. Anyhow just curious.

You have raised several questions (#19), that I'm also curious about, and which deserve being looked into! Is it something, you youself would like to do? It'll take quite some time to research - so if you, or any of the the other posters here who might be interested, don't feel up to the task, I fully understand. In case no one else wants to dive into this, I'll give it a go myself - but not for another week or so. In the meantime, I hope someone else beats me to the punch!

You have already been assigned Ghost On Dempsey. But it is now clear you will have to be double-teamed. I will assign someone else as well, so you can be sandwiched properly, little gal.

Yes, Lefhook, I know you have assigned me Ghost of Dempsey, but Nash wants to mentor someone as well. Nash has decided to take on Stuntman Mike. Nash will mentor him. He is a helluva Stuntman, but could use some boxing education, and there are not too many better to give it than the Great Nash. Nash out.

Nash did update their sig, including that they are not mentored by Ghost of Dempsey and mentoring Stuntman Mike. On the chance you don't read sigs on here, Nash has copied and pasted it below. Nash out - AKA the Great Nash.

Nash is a Boxingscene Hall of Famer, a true warrior, and a helluva poster.

Put some respect on the name of the Gypsy King, he is truly the greatest of them all.

The real 4 Kings - Tyson Fury, Brian Sutherland, Charlie Zelenoff, Hulk Hogan.

Nash has a mentor - The Ghost of Dempsey - Assigned by Old Lefhook.

Nash mentors Stuntman Mike - Self-assigned. Mike is a helluva Stuntman, but he needs further education in boxing, so the Great Nash has stepped forward.

Nash is checking in how the mentoring is going for everyone? Anybody made any progress with their charge? As I'm sure you all know, Nash has taken on Queensbury Rules, as their second mentor after Bilbo, Queen is still running riot spouting rubbish, but in time, we'll get there. Nash is also the sole mentor to Stuntman Mike, the finest Stuntman of them all, but very lacking in boxing knowledge, the same guy also removed his long time avatar of Pacquiao, his former fave fighter, but removed it the day after he lost 12-0 to Ugas. Disloyal fan, but Nash believes they can lead Stuntman Mike to being a worthy poster. Nash out.

Queensbury is a lost cause. Even having two mentors won't be enough to salvage him.
