    Add Jack Dillon, Jack Britton, Johnny Dundee Chalky Wright, Sandy Saddler, Willie Pep, Freddie Miller to the list of obvious choices. Sugar Ray Robinson and Archie Moore, too. Chances are if you wind up with 150-200 total fights, minimum, throughout the course of your career, then you've been pretty busy.

    I'd give Ali a mention, before the ban he could of easily had over 100+ fights.

    Willie Pep fought 22 times in 1941, he fought 24 times in 1942, 18 times in 1946 and 17 times in 1948....he fought an average of at least 12 times a year even with top calibur opponents...he still fought consistantly
