Peter Buckley

From the Daily Mail Online: Worlds Worst Boxer Throws In the Towel after 256 defeats. Here is Peter Buckley, 39, a guy who fights on almost a moments notice, and even fights so often that he has been known to show up for a fight with a black eye from the fight before. To enter the ring that many times, he has to have a fighting spirit like any champion. If you can understand the dedication that Buckley has for boxing, you have to be in awe of him. He has the guts to take the punishment and get back up again. The Daily Mail article also points out he has taken on many fighters in his career that have gone on to be world champions, among them Duke McKenzie, Scott Harrison, Naseem Hamed, Michael Brodie, Gavin Rees and Colin McMillian. He received an honorary ringwalk before his 200th fight in honor of his experience as a boxer while in Manchester. To the British boxing community, Peter Buckley is no ordinary guy. They wouldnt give him any honors just because he fights. He has held on to boxing long after greater fighters have faded away. Cheers, Peter.
