Has anybody heard of a winless fighter with a worse record than that of 38 year old Heavyweight Ed Strickland? His current record is 0-30 and he has been stopped in every one of his bouts - 13 of them in the 1st round and the remainder in the 2nd round.

You've gotta ask the question should he really be boxing ????

Eric Crumble: http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=005316 0-31 1nc 21 in the first round 10 in round 2

Carlos Rocha Tomar: http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=016902 0-48-1 KOed 18 times.

I think this is something Ed can actually win

Surely there should be a rule against this guy getting in a ring, he's obviously a danger to himself!

Well, its hard to split them, but i reckon Mr Crumble has to take the honours on name alone

Maybe we should get them in a ring to sort it out between themselves, find out who really is the worlds worst boxer, though it would probably end up a double KO

Great quote from Bruce "the mouse" Strauss"
""I hold three boxing records that I am especially proud of," he says. "I've been knocked out on every continent except the North Pole. I have been knocked out more than any other fighter. And I am the losing participant in the world's shortest fight - 11 seconds, counting the 10-count."

couple of others for you Ponce Ortiz:

and if you want to see someone with a good chin check Joe Grim out, look at the names on his record. Only stopped once in his career, in his last fight

"An eminent physician who examined him after Fitzsimmons had gotten through punching him gave it as his opinion that Grimm was deficient in nervous development to such an extent that a blow, however severe, was not transmitted to his brain as in normal persons, consequently it was almost an impossibility for him to be knocked out."

christ almighty

Reggie Strickland deserves a mention, if only for losing 276 times. Almost always goes the distance though.

Whenever these debates happen you cannot look past Mr. Crumble, his record speaks for itself and his surname sounds extremely apt

Whenever I see records like Crumble's, I have to ask, why are these fighters still boxing? You'd think they would have had their licence taken away or been suspended before they got the chance to rack up so many losses (especially KO losses). How do they carry on without coming under scrutiny from the relevant commission or organisation scheduling the fights?

Also, what kind of money would these fighters earn for bouts? I can imagine that journeymen aren't paid particularly well, but Ed Strickland and Eric Crumble seem to be the lowest level of "journeyman" that you could possibly be!

They make Reggie Strickland look like Rocky Marciano by comparison (and I'm sure many fighters would love to see 66 wins on their record).

The IN commission is quite notorious for presiding over these types.

Crumble is apparently a junkie, so add that to his record and goodness knows what state his head is in.

Can't believe that Crumble bloke actually fought Antwun Echols.

Apart from a total mismatch there's a good joke about a cake in there somewhere.

One i've just remembered is James Holly a heavyweight that has lost 55 fights all by knockout.
If i remember right he even got onto the front of boxing news, for a complete non effort against Michael Bentt in London.

Poor bloke, he got matched with tony tucker in his second fight

After looking at these records WHY the fuss over RJJ and his 2 KO's!!!!!

I think its that people don't want RJJ to tarnish his legacy, same with Evander Holyfield.

Peter Buckley deserves a mention.

I hope I'm not missing anything obvious, but looking at Grim's record he appears to have been KO'ed a number of times rather than just in his final fight...
