Re: Is this the worst record in pro boxing?
Excerpt from my book:
"Since 1996, when boxers’ federal ID cards became mandatory, prizefightersfrom the rust belt town of Ashtabula, Ohio have established a combined record of 25 wins and 379 losses. Of those losses, 343 were by KO or TKO, and most came within the first two rounds. James Holly alias Virgil Holly / James Robinson, fought out of Ashtabula from 1983-2000 and was both a fighter and promoter
who could provide a body (including his own) two days before a fight.
"As a boxer, he had an eye-popping mark of 5-55 (KO 55) that landed him suspensions in at least six states. Yes, 55 losses coming by way of KO and 31 in the first round. Others have reported his record as having been 7-64 (KO 64). One of his few wins came against Larry Pugh, 1-7 (KO 7). Another, a major upset, was a 10th round knock out of heavily favored Sammy Scaff in 1998. The giant Scaff once fought Mike Tyson.
"This heavyweight was an exemplar of those who fill in last-minute vacancies on cards, the fodder that more promising fighters used to pad their records with a KO. But when you lose 55 (or 64) fights by KO, you put yourself at great risk...."

Re: Is this the worst record in pro boxing?
Fighters like strickland and the english bloke who has lost 300 odd are allowed to fight because although they get beat so often they are actually able to avoid any real punishment and dont take any risks in the ring that could lead to them getting themselves hurt.
In this case however if the guy is getting ko`d in every fight and getting nowhere near to a respectable record then it is indeed the states commissions that should be stopping him from getting seriously hurt as the guy himself is obviously too lacking of intelligence to pull himself out!
one dangerous horrible bloke

Crumble became known as the "Anti-Marciano," and achieved cult status to some degree.

Yes, but not very many by way of stoppage. I have an entire section devoted to him.

Re: Is this the worst record in pro boxing?
Isn't it funny how numbers effect our perspective? I thought the same thing when I first looked at his record. Yet, while getting KO'd 25 out of 275 losses isn't that high a percentage; it's still getting KO'd 25 times!!!Yes, but not very many by way of stoppage. I have an entire section devoted to him.

Reggie had a knack for falling during an incoming volley if you catch my drift. He rarely was ever REALLY iced. He was part of a group known asIsn't it funny how numbers effect our perspective?

Knuckleheads who toured the bcakroads of the midwest in a van. Buck Smith also toured with them for a bit. Quite a story.
