You can't be a journeyman if you've won a title....winning a title is like turning a cucumber into a pickle, it can never unbecome a pickle once it's turned. Once you've won a title you're a champion and the debate becomes 'How good of a champion are/were you?'

I would have said 'Bonecrusher' Smith, but he won a title so he's exempt from Journeyman status


My favorite journeymen:
Ron Lyle (fairly certain he never held a title though what a fighter!!!)
Jimmy Bivins (brilliant fighter never held a title to my knowledge)
Floyd 'Jumbo' Cummings
Buster Matthis
Lou Savarese
