Peter Buckley will retire from Boxing after his fight on Friday!

Nas
spencer oliver
paul ingle

Actually he's never been counted at all ever. He's had the ref stop fights but he's never taken a 10 count.

He's nowhere near the world's worst boxer either, he was paid to be a trial horse, someone you put up and coming fighters in who he'd give a decent workout.

300 fights and only stopped 10 times is pretty impressive. Never counted out and he fought some great fighters including Naseem Hamed twice.

If you look at his record he went the distance (admittedly only 4 or 6 rounds) with Kell Brook, Gavin Rees, Bradley Pryce, Scott Harrison, Michael Gomez and Paul Ingle.

Looking at those fighters who got TKO's over him......Hamed (went the distance 6 rounds in an earlier fight), Duke McKenzie (twice) Paul Lyord (10-0 at the time), Colin McMillan, Gregoria Mendina 18 wins 16 ko's, Acelino Freitas, Martin O'Mally 8-0 at the time and Ricahrd Evertt (15-0).

the last time he was stopped was in 2002 by Bradley Pryce in a rematch.

Since then Buckley has fought 116 more times and not been stopped once.

He may only have brought in to lose each time but he could clearly handle himself.

He fought every couple weeks, was according to Buncey one of the top 10 highest earners in British boxing and never got hurt.

He's the definition of a true boxing man in my opinion, deciding to make a career out of the sport as a trial horse for up and coming fighters.

He did well, he wasn't supposed to win, he was just a pro sparring partner I guess but was very good at what he did.

Great Post I would rep you but I need to spread some around

Daily mail knows fuck all about Boxing

[killersheep]

He's probably pulling in a few quid per fight, so he has to fight that much to eat.

Respect to him though, hope retirement treats him better than his career.

[donnydarkoIRL]

He made a lot of money over his career.

Ultimately that equates to an excellent professional boxer.

[RozzySean]

Guys like him and Anthony Ivory are a necessary part of boxing. The have some skills, but usually lack real talent. They are tests for up and coming fighters and record padders who don't get themselves killed. Let's hope Mr. Buckley goes out with a win tonight.

[Majesty]

i thought this guy was the worlds worst boxer

Reggie Strickland

and he is close to 300 losses

[eagle]

The Daily Mail hasn't heard of Charlie Zelenoff.

Buckley would own Zelenoff.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Tony Booth is calling it a day also.

[Hume]

Boxing wouldn't work without the Peter Buckleys mate

exactly. never been KO'ed either. to think this guy would accept a fight hours before the scheduled fight time. the sport will genuinely miss him, I echp the sentiments of a poster early who state it would have been nice to see him end his career on a high profile undercard.

[Kel]

It's great that he retired on a win!

[LBSCFC]

a great servant to the game and although he lost many times he wasnt a loser. every fighter he faced learnt something after meeting him
