I said with a decent record, not lost more than 3/4 of all there fights .

Wouldnt it be great if Boxrec had stat search algorythyms. i.e number of fights, KO %, win %, etc etc

Jimmy Wilde?

More modern times would be Julio Cesar Chaves? The old fighters fought all the time, Ted kid Lewis ect..

jimmy wilde has knocked out 91 opponents in his career i think it a record for a fighter.
bryan hughes wrote an excellent biography on his fighting career

Archie Moore has more knockouts, the greatest for any champion at 131.

Roberto Duran in modern times has a pretty expansive record.

And he had 5 years off for the war

but no title fights ???? ......

Buck Smith must be up there with the most fights of any boxer with a winning record.

When fought Reggie Strickland that must be a record for most combined fights - close to 400 between them.

He won the Leicester flyweight title, and had an eliminator for the Southern Area, also he took part in the Percival Lightweight belt series and the Ted Salmon Midlands belt competition!

But then there was never the WBU in those days! lol

In fairness he took part in a hell of a lot of 10,12 and 15 rounders, still a hell of an achievement

the answer, in both instances might be the American Bobby Dobbs who claims to have well over a thousand fights and MOST of them while living, campaigning and travelling the British Boxing Booth circuit, where you fought both allcomers and Sanctioned and 'Un-Sanctioned' pro fights alike!
