You'd also have Kristian Laight and Jason Nesbitt I believe in that category of fighter.

Laight had exactly 300, and Nesbitt had well over 100.

Earnie Smith and Johnny Greaves are two other journeymen who did.

I thought of Jorge Paez when I saw this because I was sure he had over 100 but then went to check and he had 98 fights so he just misses it by 2

Hector"Macho" Comacho had 88 pro fights.

Since 1965??... Probably more than most people imagine.

Going purely on a gut feeling, I think we're easily talking 3 figures!

A Canadian called Ron Wilson had 114 bouts. He fought Chris Finnegan

Ruben Olivares and Jose Luis Ramirez.

there seems to be more then I thought.
Maybe it would be easier to list boxers who had '100 fights" before the age of 36 years old.
Who here then would have to be re-moved from the list ?
(other then Roberto Duran who had his 100th fight at 42 years old)

Hell honestly in this day and age even crossing the threshhold of say 70 or 80 fights is a hellacious number of fights to have on your career. Especially if you're a winning fighter most of the way through that. I'm pretty sure 70 fights like that takes more of a toll on a man than 300 fights you're just there to survive through as is often the case with some of these fighters mentioned.

Angel Robinson Garcia. Fought well over 200 fights all over the world. Fascinating career

did they ever write a book about him ?

Not sure, but it would be a great read.
