Busiest fighters of the 20th century - by decade?

This one has been up for a while. I E-Mailed my answers to "Bukkake" and he told me that they were all correct.

Lets see if any of you can come up with the answers as well.

 

Armstrong takes the 1930's and Greb the 1920's?

 

I can't imagine Len Wickwar being bettered for the 1930s.

 

It's disturbing to think that someone fought 3974 rounds

 

yeah, and there is footage of him making a good showing against none other than little Eric Boon who could have been world champion in his own right.

the well past it Boon won fight-of-the-year in Britain for his fight with the great little Frenchmen Robert Villimain, who went on to be a leading middleweight contender, who beat LaMotta...

shows you just how good these fighters were, especially back then, when the Top men while at the top, always fought quality opposition for the most part.

 

No on both!

Yes!

30's: Len Wickwar - 429 (Tiger Burt Ison, 293 - George Marsden, 290).

It's also disturbing that he didn't begin his professional career until he was approaching 18, was still only 28 when he fought Boon, and had accumulated 459 career bouts before he turned 29. The pace of Wickwar's career only really slowed and then completely shut down for a half dozen years with the advent of WW II. He had 31 fights in 1938, then another 16 in 1939 by the time Hitler invaded Poland on September 1st. He was on pace to surpass 650 bouts between Hitler's aggression and the postwar resumption of his career in November 1946.

 

and believe it or not, many Top British fighters had 200 - 300 career fights.

they fought Sanctioned Pro fights, NON - Scantioned Pro fights - often in the Booths, some fighters who kept better recorded bouts for themselves are awarded such numbers. others though sanctioned lossed out on the credit...

and the number of Booth fights these men took part in, well that's a whole different set of figures!

500, 600 and more all in, even the famous and great American Bobby Dobbs claimed over a 1000 fights all in!!!

 

Maybe Peter Buckley for the 90s? Or Buck Smith?

 

90s has Peter Buckley hitting his stride, but he was struggling to top Buck Smith and the probable winner of the decade, Reggie Strickland...

 

In ther 30s Billy Bird also deserves a mention. In 1937 when he fought Wickwar, Bird was having entering the 280th of his 328 total known bouts, Wickwar his 392nd...

The 10's, 20's and 80's should be easy. Just think, who had a lot of bouts in those decades?

The hard ones are most likely the 40' to the 70's.

00's is somewhat hard.
