Re: HE should be stopped!!!
Look at when he last got stopped, look at the records of the guys he is fighting these days. He fights, loses, doesnt get hurt and gets paid.
He's called a trial horse.

Yeah if hes still fit and healthy then why not? There are harder ways to make a living.
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
That name actually rings a bell.
I think we were all trying to find the fighter with the worst record.
If i remember correct, someone (either from their own knowledge or by way of another source) posted up some info that claimed Reggie was actually, once upon atime, not so bad.
It may of been BritKid... If it was, then that just makes me miss him more :-\
How we could do with some of his posts ::**
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
I think Strickland, like the UK's version Peter Buckley are obviously better than their records suggest. They are there primarily to lose without too much fuss, but if you arent up to par or try to take liberties with guys like that then they are more than capable of making you look a twat.
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
....I thought you finally came to your senses and posted something reasonable about Nicolay Valuev.....oh well, guess I was wrong
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
Enough with the spamming. >:mad
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
he was in the ring with two big names that i could spot, Charles Brewer and Cory Spinks, olso Tocker pudwill who was on the world scene
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
Reggie is a good defensive fighter who seldom gets hit flush. He just has a weak offence and bad training habits. No reason imo to take his licence
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
He started his "career" at 2-30! not 30-2!
he's had numerous 10,11,12 and as high as 15 loss in a row streaks
I'm not saying he's a bad person. But he needs to be protected from himself. In boxing you can and will get hurt. He doesn't have a bunch of KO's in those losses? Hey.. neither did Gerry Quarry.
If he's going in looking to cover up, not get hurt and just waiting for a safe time and place to lay down. Than thats a farse, and a discredit to the sport and all the guys who battle for every W on their record!
Hey it's just my opinion.
I wouldn't be able to justify putting a guy with that record on any card I was involved with. And what does it say, about what you think about your fighter? "ya we found a guy for ya to test yourself against". You should be able to "squeak" out a gutsy win against him...after all 276 other guys did!
Disgraceful!
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
He loves his job, he gets paid, fighters need rounds. The business wouldn't work without opponents, for every winner there has to be a loser. Every fighter has had fights against similar caliber opposition in the beginning.

Really? can you list some for me? Modern day fighters? any still fighting?Just say... 10 or so?? They don't have to all be as bad as poor Reggie here. How about.....oh....
say...just list the guys with ..oh....say...more than 200 losses....
There must be lots of them if EVERY fighter has been fighting them
Re: HE should be stopped!!!
A man outta know his limits.
That being said, why should he HAVE to fight a guy with a loosing record?
Maybe he likes fighting noobs & pospects. Maybe to him its rewarding.
BTW, Jerry Quarry? Reggie is doing 4 & 6 rounders, not 15 round sluggfest.

I hate to use the "you don't know boxing" line but in this instance it is warranted. Your lacking a basic understanding of how lower level boxing works. As Yoitsdan said, boxing needs opponents, it needs people like Strickland. He and Peter Buckley stick out like sore thumbs with their resumes and fair play to them for it. They are the only two I can think of off my head with records like that and there is a reason for it, they are really good at what they do.
They don't get hit a lot, they don't get hurt, they go the distance and show some young upstart a trick or two along the way.
For what its worth your not the first person to post Strickland or Buckley's record and look in horror.
Check out Buckleys record, you will see many many well known names all in the infancy of their careers http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=3372
