15 fights in a year?

[jeej]

This guy... Laszlo Hubert, had 15 fights in 2008 and won 12 of them. Am I just naive or is that a lot of fights in one year for a boxer? I mean granted the elite rarely have more than 1 to 2 a year, but even journeymen don't fight 15 times in a year ordinarily, right? I could be wrong, but I just wanted to ask.

Imagine having another prospect like that come through, for all the shit that he has done he was electrifying. There are lots of if's and but's about Tyson but i believe he would of gone down in history as a top 3 heavy weight if not no.1.

you can have more in a year if your knocking them out in a round or 2!!!

Peter Buckley had 300 and that was inside of a 20 year period (20 x 15 being 300). so it's do-able I suppose. But then that's Peter Buckley rather than the norm.
