I agree with alot of what you've said here gnash. But howcome say up til about 20 years ago, no-one, apart from most heavyweights, would have a 10-12 week training camp? No-one. 3, 4, 5 fights a year was in most cases the norm, and up til say the 70's, for most weight divisions it'd be more like 5, 6 and seven fights a year. I know things have moved on with training, and like you say, peaking for a fight, but it's not like peaking for a bodybuilding contest or whatever, it's boxing, and they don't need to go into a fight with 7% body fat. It's a fight, and some bodyweight will be be beneficial
