dmar, thanks a mil for the post. My only experience with Stribling comes from boxing almanacs. I'm looking forward to doing research on him. Thanks again.

290 fights. Holy shit.

Thats insane. He was only 29 and had that many fights. WOW kinda makes the guys of the last 50-60 years look like pussies. LOL

Fighters are definitly less active today. But also, it was a different time. Most old school fighters learned in the pros not in the AMs. So they'd start out at a young age in the pros and built themselves up.

Today, a lot of fighters have got a 100 plus fights in the AMs before going pro. Gamboa got 250 fights in the AMs.

Why I've always ranted on how the AMs are ruining fighters today and am glad that after this Olympics they will make it more pro style scoring.

it would be nice if more pros could learn in the pros like they used to. it makes things better IMO.
