    Good try, Crumble was winless in 32 bouts, BUT that isn't the record. I believe he is in 4th place

    Alexandru Manea has the most consecutive losses that I know of.

    I would still back the guy to beat Fraudly Harrison though.

    Jesse Clark deserves at least an honorable mention.

    Buster Douglas thought Clark such a worthy opponent he fought him THREE times. Cynics might accuse ol' Buster of padding the record, but I personally think Jesse was on the cusp of turning the corner and becoming a real threat . . .

    . . . to Manea.

    Peter Buckley went around 100 fights without a win, it included 2 draws though.

    Manea must have the most losses without a win, I can't think of anyone thats remotely close to him!

    Nice thread, Manea is one of those losers you have to respect, only 12 stoppages from 52 straight losses, and I doubt he gets a big purse to soften the blows, shorter fights or not, their commitment is commendable. And it takes a unusual kind of bravery to be Eric Crumble and keep coming back for more. Perennial losers like these guys, and the ones a level or two up up who have 10-30 losing records, are the lifeblood of boxing.
