I ran into this guy Reggie Strickland, looking at Tavoris Cloud's record. The guy's retired now but he finished his career with a 66-276-17 record. He had 14 KOs in 363 fights, or less than a 4% ratio.

He was able to avoid damage but did not win fights. Pretty simple, explains everything.
Haha well as far as him breathing Oxygen is concerned.
But the issue is.................how was he allowed to fight and lose like that?

Yeah welcome to eight years ago.
But seriously we've been over this. Strickland became a spoke in a unattended wheel that drove prospect fighters. Look at his record.
Look at how many prospects he's fought. It's crazy.

hey, he had one big win:
2003-09-26 165 Mike Stone 160 10-0-0
Farm Bureau Building, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States W TKO 5 8 Wiki
this guy liked fighting and instead of going around sparring at gyms, decided to do it in the real ring every fortnight or so.
I personally wouldn't love being knocked out, let alone that many times. I respect him and any other fighters that steps into the ring, but thats just too many losses.
I feel the same way. If I can't be competitive, its time to hang em up. This guy didn't mind though. God bless him.
Exactly. He was a professional opponent. Im sure he knew he was never going to be a world champion, but that didn't stop him from doing what he loved. More power to him

Yeah he stepped into the ring as a pro 363 times. Props to him.
Some people do it once and never want to again.
So what if lost a lot. He did what he loved.
Now, he's a promoter.

i have to give him major credit for having the courage to continue fighting with so many losses...
most would be embarrassed and quit.
but judging by how oftend he fought (frequently it shows he fought every other week) i believe he did it strictly to pay the bills.
at the same time i wonder how he was allowed to continue fighting with such a record.
he must be what you call a true blue collar fighter.
LOL, I also find it very odd as well that a man was capable of losing 276 times. I give the guy huge credit though for getting in the ring as many times as he did.
Strickland was a journeyman who took pride in being able to survive the distance and fight again next month, or next week. He had enough skills to expose some 'prospects' if he wanted to.
He fought some notable names such as Cory Spinks, Charles Brewer, Keith Holmes and Raul Marquez.
Reggie Strickland always has been about dependability. Carving a unique — if not infamous — boxing legacy, Strickland has traveled the back streets of America in vans and cars to earn a paycheck as the ultimate "opponent."
Now approaching 35, Strickland is the biggest loser in professional boxing history.
Strickland shows no signs of frequent beatings. He speaks eloquently. His face, accented by a pencil-thin mustache, barely has a nick or noticeable scar. But despite Strickland's fresh face and survival skills, the scorecards provide damning evidence against him. Now competing as a junior middleweight, Strickland has a 61-248-15 ring record, including a 3-10 mark this year.

The worst record I've seen is Eric Crumble's, he lost 31 times in a row, all of them by knockout. Never won a fight.
In the old days when it was common to fight every other week, but this guy just retired.
Yeah but how does the guy keep getting a license to fight with over 2000 rounds in the ring and after being stopped 25 times?
Thats a good question but i guess he gets examined/tested by the necessary people in charge on issuing/re-newing of boxing licence.
