Boxers Who Are Not The Mandatory Are Always Calling Out Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao And Wladimir Klitschko But There Is A
Pecking Order
Floyd Mayweather
In boxing fighters always want to fight the reigning
champ in their weight class. Even amateurs harbor reams of turning
pro and taking on the top dog as soon as possible. However, in
boxing there is a pecking order. You have to earn the right to fight
the champ. You have to pay your dues. This is beneficial for a
number of reasons.
Manny Pacquiao
Taking on someone with far more experience can
result in serious, career altering injury. Therefore, the skill
levels should be matched or at worst close. Fights must be properly
matched. This is fair to the boxers and the fans, giving the former
experience and the latter a good show. The best way to hone your
craft and develop your skills is via experience. You are not born
ready. You have to learn your trade.
Wladimir Klitschko
It's also not good for one's career to lose a match
too early. The more wins you accumulate, the better for your
development and finances, as endorsers like backing winners.
Therefore, let the pecking order work for you. Take the time to
develop your craft. Observe, experience and learn. Turn yourself
into the best boxer you can be, so when the moment comes to take on
the champ, you'll be ready and do yourself proud.
