That fight would have been interesting to see, especially the ring announcement

The infamous Eric Crumble -

However, from what I've heard it's likely that 'Eric Crumble' was just a name given to a variety of boxers and not a single person.
Bheki Moyo, who was featured in Mark Turley's book, Journeymen -

Moyo drew a few times, I know not won but still had a few draws, would have been a great find that one.

Ed Strickland -

I dare say this might be another 'Eric Crumble' type character.
Bobby Jones -

How odd, especially when you look earlier at the record and Gonzalez actually did fight Uriah Grant

Latvia's Dmitrijs Avsijenkovs one of my favourite active fighters.
0-29 29 KO's all within the first two rounds!
The man is a beast, but unlike Eric Crumble there is plenty of Youtube footage of this man in action!
Surprised this guy hasn't got more of a cult following.

The WBC Fecarbox heavyweight title must be revered the world over. He challenged for it having lost all his previous fights!

I'm assuming that these are the type of 'gym fights' that pad a record for future eastern European journeymen?
It was pitiful watching those two videos...

Exactly the type of fight that pads out records that leads to fights in the uk ,often against well known opponents.
For example last year the losing boxer ( I use the term loosely ) in the above two clips , dimitrys asvinjenkos fought and lost in April too Arturs kulikauskis .
Two losses followed for Kulikauskis in June and July before in September he was fed to none other than the now world champion Tony Bellew @ Leeds arena live on sky sports !
In fairness to Eddie and sky it wasn't a PPV

Seriously, how can this be professional boxing?
In this video, everyone seems to be laughing and taking the piss, even the bloke Avsijenkovs is fighting starts laughing at one point.

Here's his BoxRec picture...come on, this is some sort of joke isn't it?? Look at him FFS!!

He's a little fleshy at the weight, I'll give you that.
Peter Fury never won a pro fight but to be fair to him he only had one, so he doesn't really meet the criteria.

This dude hasn't boxed for a few years now, so may never pick up his first win.

Robert Harper...apparently a very capable and strong fighter, but never managed to get a win.

Well named as he did indeed have a perfect "0" just in the wrong column.
