How can you lose 276 times?

[Jim Jeffries]

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.

When you're a proper bum then you can lose as many fight as you want.

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.

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.

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.

Eric Crumble???

The guy called himself Eric Crumble???

Or even worse, was that his real name.

He came and he CRUMBLED!!!

[Monticello]

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.
