We always see threads about who is the best: I thought we should ask who is the worst boxer/Journeyman they have heard about or seen.
I hereby nominate : Karl Taylor of the Uk (He fought Ricky Hatton)
Aged: 44
won 16 (KO 4) + lost 135 (KO 34) + drawn 7 = 158 rounds boxed 782 KO% 2.53

Look at this world champion in waiting in a fight.
I hate it when people just dont know when to hang up the gloves.
I dont laugh at these guys, man, they have a difficult job to do. They're a test for green fighters. If a guy cant get past them, he needs to immediately retire. Some of these guys aren't bad fighters, but remember: if these guys started winning fights, they'd stop getting calls and have to find another way to support their families.
This is how they chose make a living, to get punched out and lose fights against young guys for pennies, and it's a pretty hard life if you ask me.
Here is another hit from the past Brian Sutherland:

LOL! He was a street fighter who thought he should take up boxing so he can get paid for fighting! He got hammered on his professional debut!

Just seen Charlie Zelenhoff fight! He thinks he is Zab Judah but gets so badly mauled. :drillserg
Where do these jokers come from?! Anyone know any other good ones?
Forgot to say I'd seen these two nincumpoops before.
The key point may be the definition as to what exactly entails a "journeyman". If it;s a certain standard, as I believe, then a fighter may have very many losses but against better competition than a many wins guy. Sooo....................
That cant be real! Come on thats just the funniest thing ive ever seen! The fighters were so unconditioned! Hiding behind the referee and talking about making his own training videos! :fing02:
It's obvious immediately, even BEFORE the iintroductions, at VERY FIRST glance, that these two guys are NOT any kind of fighters, just a couple of mutts who have had a disagreement....maybe, or are being paid to make clowns of themselves.
I just came across a reference to a guy named Eric Crumble, (Uncannily apt real name) who has a record of 0-35, all by KO. Not only ALL losses but ALL by KO.
Now THAT'S a record hard to beat. Neat and sweet!!
Charlie Zelenhoff

Peter Buckley was pretty terrible:

There's another guy who record almost this bad but he was KO'ed much more frequently, can't remember his name know.
EDIT: Here's another one
Reggie Strickland
