Sepanjang kariernya, Hector Thompson juga tercatat telah melakoni 87 pertandingan dengan 73 di antaranya menghasilkan kemenangan.

Ia juga adalah seorang mantan juara tinju kelas welter junior Australia dan Pesemakmuran.

Kala itu, Hector Thompson gagal meraih kemenangan. Namun, ia mampu membuat lawan babak belur.

Kemudian ia memutuskan untuk pensiun pada 1980 dengan rekor 73 (27 KO)-12-2. Pada 2005, namanya pun diabadikan di Australian National Boxing Hall of Fame.
