Just saying he has more wins then a writer or a fan doesn't mean S***. I have 100 pencils in my draw at work but it doesn't make me an author...
I'm going to side with the minority on this one. I wouldn't call a fighter a "disgrace to boxing" solely based on his record. Not everybody can have winning records. People forget that for everyone who's 15-0, there are 15 "L's" out there somewhere. SOMEBODY's got to lose those fights.

But someone who climbs into the ring just for a paycheck.... and runs around clinching and just trying to survive, without the slightest intention of going for the "W"...... yes, that's a discredit to the sport IMO. And since I haven't seen any of Strickland's fights, I'm no one to judge the man...... but I've seen my share of fights that are pretty similar to the ones Pride of Boston has described.
