Oh,its true he didnt hit him as much, but then again Hamed didnt tend to hit people much. Most guys didnt last more than a few rounds. Hamed is prob the hardest hitting FW ever. The fight against Harrison was just insane too. Hard to make a top 5. Wayne would be in there. McCall, Margarito,.Holyfield, and dont forget Andrade
Peter Buckley Only stopped 10 times in 300 fights, first man to last the distance with Hamed, the stoppage in the second fight was kind of premature as Hamed didn't seem to hurt him much, he wasn't bringing much against Hamed but Hamed didn't do much harm either. Throughout his career he fought a number of quality world champions and British champions including Duke McKenzie, Naseem Hamed, Acelino Freitas, Jason Cook, Paul Ingle, Patrick Mullings, Dean Pithie, Jason Booth, Michael Brodie, Scott Harrison, Michael Gomez, Johnny Bredahl, Gavin Rees, John Murray, Bradley Pryce, Michael Gomez, Derry Mathews, Lee Meager, Dave Stewart, Gary Woolcombe and Kell Brook. NEVER has been counted out. He also fought a lot at welter despite being a "natural" featherweight (He has fought at superbantam and bantam) Also his "real" record is probably much better than what boxrec says since pro journeymen are extremely prone to being robbed, and never get any gifts or benefits of the doubt Ringnews24.com: You were only ever stopped 10 times in 256 losses. Your chin must be made of concrete. Do you have any secret as to how you managed to remain on your feet? Peter Buckley: Well, out of those 10 stoppages I would say only 5 were genuine. The other stoppages weren’t genuine. I mean I fought a Mexican guy [Gregorio Medina] once when I shouldn’t have even been in the ring. Another time I went up to Scotland to fight Bradley Pryce for the second time. I got out of the car after 4 and a half hours, saw the doctor, weighed in. He was a lot heavier than me on the night, he hit me a few times, I went down, got back up, went down again. I boxed a geezer called Martin O’Malley in Ireland. That fight shouldn’t have been stopped and nor should my fight against Richard Evatt have been stopped. Naseem [Hamed] didn’t stop me genuinely either. The only fighters who genuinely stopped me were Duke McKenzie the first time we fought. That was also the first time I’d ever been stopped as an amateur or pro. The second time we fought though I had a shoulder injury and you can’t fight someone of Duke’s calibre with one arm. Colin McMillan stopped me genuinely. Acelino Freitas did too. I remember fighting him and he was huge! I was pulled out after 4 rounds.

I was under the car trying to fix it and had already burnt my arm, then the phone goes and Nobby says there’s a fight going. I asked him when and he said ‘now’ in Nottingham against Alex Moon. I rang my brother to borrow his car and got to Nottingham in about an hour and a half, weighed in, saw the doctor then I was in the ring. I never ever turned a fight down in my life.”
