http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=4741&cat=boxer&pageID=1 I know hes got over 272 losses but still the number of fight he had, and still going strong thats will power, bum or no bum
Damn reggie even though he's lost so much must of made bank.. fighting that many times. He probably was able to request good chunks of money vs up and comers.
he is there to lose and it would be a bad career move to win (im not joking). alot of respect for being there for the short comers. how is he now?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Strickland#Professional_career He has fought some pretty upstanding opponents too. A lot of C fighters make their start fighting him. He gets paid 80000 a year... so Props to him man!!
this is the thing. if you have heard of peter buckley, all he does is stay in decent shape gets a phone call as a replacment be here by this time at this place and just stone faces for 4 rounds. and gets a grand or 2 for doing it. for saving the undercard as he can ask for that type of money. these are rich men. trust:hey :nod :good if you forget about pride and think of it as a business instead of losing it's a incredible job it's all cash in hand, you get a NHS check up ordered by the BBBC every few months and get payed for any medical and get to see a free fight on the undercard. howard clarke another journeyman form the same elk has fought for a world title so it's not liek a treadmill to nowhere
I recently went to a live boxing event and the fight before the televised fights, was a 4 rounder. Not much skill but, man o live, those guys were fighting as though their lives depended on it. The one guy was taking 4 shots just so he could land one. A real tribute to toughness.
