    Guys who have fought the who's who, lost them all, but still have the ability to turn it up once they get their act together?!?! And, showed enough promise to be considered decent opposition.

    Give me some names. We're talking about guys with more than 5 losses against good or above average competition.

    Two names come to mind: Travis Walker and Dominic Guinn- both heavies, but still good draw's in my book!
    Terry Carruthers. Current Journeyman, exciting to watch.
    Bert Cooper. (Genuine KO power, 47 just not, was knocking people out in 2010 still.)

    His last fight was about a year ago today, he did take a few years off from 2002-2010.

    Julius Francis had a bit of a peak when he beat an undefeated Pele Reid, Danny Williams and also Scott welsh I think before being destroyed by Tyson and being a journeyman again.

    Would Danny Williams now count as a journeyman?
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The fairly recent classic in the category would be Freddie Pendleton; started his career 12-12 and went on to win part of the lightweight title, be a top guy for quite awhile, and finish his career, over the hill and fighting up and coming guys.

    Now? Yes he is a JM, as he has lost 7 of his last 8, but he held the British and CommonW titles more than once, plus he fought for a world title.

    Hard to define his mixed career.

    Yup. Danny is a journeyman. Would we consider Holyfield as a journeyman as well??
