The 1,000 Round Club

Teddy Yarosz 1125
Ken Overlin 1411
Cerefino Garcia 1166
Kid Azteca 1874

 

Peter Buckley 1684 according to Boxrec.

 

UK has a ton of them from the past - Jock McAvoy, Ginger Sadd, Len Wickwar, Charlie Parkin... loads & loads of fighters.

 

I hope you are only including completed rounds, or else you cheapen the achievement...

 

This is annoying because the statician in me keeps checking on some of the lighter-hitting fighters with an active schedule. Ralph 'Tiger' Jones came up short of the mark, however, Orlando Zulueta, Vicente Derado, Federico Thompson, Tommy Loughran and Tommy Farr went over the 4 digit mark. OK, that's it, I'm not going to do this anymore. Wait...did anyone check Giardello?

 

You do him a disservice. You need to take away 21 rounds, for his stoppages win/losses, but can add a further 242 rounds for the no decisions, coming from boxrec.

Greb had 300 bouts, not 299. Boxrec is missing a couple of early bouts and has one exhibition as a pro fight.

 

A few of the British Journeymen:

Freddie Miller 2088 (2041 completed)

Billy Bird 3274 (3114)

Ginger Sadd 2199 (2147)

George Odwell 1391 (1268)

And a couple of others:

Jeff Malcolm 1078 (1039)

Andres Antonio Selpa 1703 (1617)

 

Just had to check, yes, Giardello is over the 1000 mark. And so is Jeff Malcolm, Nipper Pat Daly, Joe Curran, Ray Famechon, Gustavo Ballas and Avenamar Peralta.

And completed at least 1,674 of them.

 

Ginger Sadd was no journeyman, he was the No.9 middleweight in the world in 1938, and was in good company too, a Top Liner for approx. 10 years or so.

 

Len Harvey
Marcel Thil
Gorilla Jones
Vince Dundee
Young Corbett III

All over the 1000 mark
