I may be just forgetful, but there seem to be so many pull puts because of injuries than say the 1990s and 1980s? And I bet in the 1950s there were way fewer.

It almost seems that every fight has a 50% chance of being cancelled because of injury (90% if your name's David :-))

Am I just being nostalgic and dreaming? If not, why are there so many pull outs? Are modern training high intensity work outs the cause?

What are poster's thoughts?

Shows were easier to make and keep on when fighters were owned and knew their place. There are pros and cons of fighters having a bit more clout now. At 37 and with the record he's got, I think Froch has earned the right to be choosy. Some of the younger pups need to march in time though. Haye is an enigma and I can't decipher the code.
