[edit] Professional career

Strickland began his professional career in 1987 and has never had a lengthy run of success as a pro boxer. His activity as a fighter has been unprecedented in recent history, and has fought as many as nine pro fights in a month (October 1993 and April 1994), sometimes three fights in four days. He was featured in an article in the New York times, along with journeymen Buck Smith and Verdell Smith, detailing the life of a journeyman boxer, or tomato can. It was noted that in Strickland's many fights, he sometimes used aliases, including Reggie Buse and Reggie Raglin [2].
