if Steroidgio Martinez stopped taking PEDs and fought legitimate opposition he would be 0-142.

142 loses and only 19 knockouts? Must had a hell of a chin.

A lot of those guys have go on to become Commonwealth/European/World champions. I think he was a guy that Frank Warren used to pad his fighters records with.

But fair play to the guy, he had a lot of fights & against some decent pros.

Kel Brook, Vassell, Ricky Burns, Nathan Cleverly, Tony Doherty, Ross Minter, Lenny Daws, Gavin Rees, John Murray, Nigel Wright etc etc

He was in with the who's who of British boxing.

These types of fighters are needed boxing. I remember reading a boxing article a while ago on why Journeymen are important for the sport. They don't go in there to win, they go in there to survive and avoid getting knocked out. These journeymen aren't fools by any means, they've crafted a way to survive, but they do enjoy boxing - even if they aren't going to win.

Peter Buckley had 300 fights, 256 losses, hadn't won a fight for the last 5 years of his career up until his 300th which he did win and retired on.

Worth noting that he was never dropped, not once.
