Im sure theres also more concern for the health of the boxer these days as well.
Did you ever look at the record of Reggie Strickland? He had 363 professional bouts and his record was 66-276-17, before he retired last year and was stopped 25 times.
That is not even close to the record for being stopped. Here's a list that I have. You will see that most of them have fought very recently.
