Journeymen..

Who are your favourite journeymen?

What defines a Journeyman.?

Danny Williams vs Chisora vs Price?

[Master]

I like Bradley Pryce and liked him when he was good. He is still going and could have been a contender.

The classic journey man who travelled that made it for a while was Glen Johnson who had many good battles with Clinton Woods and Ronald Wright.

Can world champions be considered Journeymen?

Mmmm..I suppose seeing as though you mentioned Johnson, then could Brandon Rios fit that bill or is he more of a former world champion punching bag.

Can we bring back Audley for Joe Joyce?

Boone

Boone and Augustus are the main ones I think of. Boone has beaten a few good fighters. He even knocked down Andre Ward and gave him his toughest fight of his career probably (maybe other than the first Kovalev fight).

Augustus had some decent wins but seems to be known a lot also because Mayweather always says he was the best fighter he has faced.

I thought Audley could not fight again because of head injuries sustained in boxing.

I always thought Matthew Hatton was a pretty good journeyman, he was decent, European level and a good measuring stick for the up and comers.

Boone's fought everyone. Knocked out Stevenson so he gets bonus points. Augustus' fight with Ward was outstanding.

Marion titanium jaw Wilson. Demarcus Corley has turned into a hell of a journeymen. Journeymen are the necessary lifeblood of the sport and seem to always have different levels. The doormats..the guys brought in to pad a record with little hope-intent of ruining a good gig or reputation as a guy who will service a few rounds and make your guy look stellar. And you have roller coaster journeymen often pulling a notable surprise every so often to once again restart a 'run' as opponent for former champs or undefeated promising prospects. 'Game' fighters long in the tooth but pretty durable and actually plying a trade as easily as punching a clock for another days work. It's a job and it's paying the bills and if not getting fights then earning a check sparring just waiting for a phone call. The saddest level of journeymen may be the once shining star or champion now serving as a scalp. Tough experienced enough to hold own with most mid to low end guys but they've come full circle in career. Stubborn pride remains. The big city lights have dimmed, the entourages have shrunk to a couple people, hotel suites have given way to some random Motel in some small town with a broken ice machine and they hang on tightly to that great run seen by thousands so many years ago.

Good call on Corley.

Good call on Corley.

Thanks man, he came in like a meteor brutal ko on Flores. Guy always came off with fight flair and world traveler too. Next week he's coming to Mississippi beat up his own journeyman.

The classic journeyman turned world champion has to be Fearless Freddie Pendleton .
The most erratic fighter ever, but on his day was top class.
