How can you lose 276 times?

[The_Italian]

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

He record may suck.

But... even worse.. What did it do for the guy who he lost to on his 276th loss?


Sad... Sad.
