    Hilarious guy.

    There's a feature film and a documentary about him too, if I remember rightly.

    This fellow is pretty dreadful:

    How do you keep getting licensed when you've lost that many times (more than half by KO) and never failed to lose?


    I came across someone recently with a similar record but it was like fifty losses (and nothing but) with over twenty by stoppage. Wish I could recall the name. Another eastern European.

    I sure wouldn't be considering Mouse Strauss for "worst" anything. I remember seeing him box circles around undefeated Danny Ferris (something like 20-0) on an ESPN undercard and then deliberately take his foot off the gas to allow the judges to stretch it into a draw for the pushed house fighter. I think if Bruce would've gone all out, he'd have been close to a top 50 guy at his weight.

    Gotta go with "Mullet Man" due to his arrogant attitude going into his debut believing he was some sort of bar-fighter extraordinaire and then seeing his grandiosity completely deflated as everyone could see he couldn't even throw a basic punch without twirling in the air like a buffoon.

    Yeah, Strauss was a proud loser but he wasn't a bad fighter like some of these guys. He was a stepping-stone.
    Funny guy.

    Found him!!

    Took quite a bit of poring through my Firefox history.

    That's simply incredible. Fifty-three times under the lights...and fifty-three times leaving empty-handed.

    I was wrong, his stoppage losses don't number in the twenties. Only 13. :!:

    Like Lupu, Manue is Romanian. :yep Pretty lax commission.

    In fairness, about a third of his opponents achieved some minor renown at European level...and one (Arthur Abraham) was a world champ. The next best to vanquish him were Yakup Saglam (about to challenge Manuel Charr for the WBC Silver title) and Julien Marie Sainte (about to clash with Max Bursak for the vacant Euro title). After that, mostly continental journeymen. You'd think facing so many inexperienced kids he'd eventually upset one.



    Fifty freaking three.

    I just saw the fight with Charlie Zelenoff vs Chris Kud.

    Charlie actually has some pretty decent footwork, why is he on the list?

    He's a pretty heavy handed, slick fighter.

    Seldon actually picked up a heavyweight strap and had a decent record.

    Because he was scared sh!tless and quit doesn't make him the worst of all time ... just a scared b.tch.

    Wladimir Klitschko would most likely do the same thing against a declining post prison Tyson.

    Yeah, the AC Express is a ridiculous shout.

    His boxing skills were actually copacetic.

    It was his chin and the intangibles that held him back.

    If you're talking about the worst boxers, it should be just that. Those with the least skill.
