    :lol:

    The best thing about this record is his 3 fight tour of New Zealand, the first of which saw him fight a heavyweight (Brunson is a middleweight) and the second saw him fight a debutant (Brunson's 16th fight).

    Tye Fields is lucky to have escaped a mention:

    I think anyone with the surname Strickland is pretty much guaranteed to have a bad record. Probably related to Reggie and Jerry.

    Hattons record is sooo padded.

    Hatton - 44-1 at age 30

    38-0 before his first title shot



    Calzaghe - 45-0 at age 36

    22-0 at first title shot

    You need to learn the definition of a padded record.

    Guys with padded record's don't fight the P4P #1, the undisputed champion in there division and other top 10 P4P fighters.

    Fair enough.

    I can't really come all out and say 'his record wasn't padded' when I see the 70-80 Mexican cab drivers and pizza deliver boys on his record.

    I give Nielsen credit actually - not for the quality of fighter he was, but he wasn't exactly bottom of the barrel - and the pure frequency with which he could fight when he got going was pretty marvellous.
