Journeymen Prizefighter

A lot of talk in the past about a 'Journeymen Prizefighter' - having recently read the book Journeymen almost every one of them mentioned being very interested in taking part if / when.I think it would be a brilliant idea & would defo look into attending, they are valuable members of the fight scene & barring the odd few I think a lot could of achieved a lot more under different circumstances.Give them something back, a night in the limelight, faces on a poster & most importantly - a good chance of a pay day!

 

There was a lot that happened in the 60 / 70's that nearly finished the sport.

*It's worth noting there were a lot of people who thought Prizefighter in general would ruin the sport in the UK, which it hasn't.

I'm not talking about throwing Novice's in - I'm talking about a select few journeymen - who have held their own with a host of top level fighters.

 

Ruins fighters records? why does it need to be about records? Look at Sam Eggington for example, never won - on two attempts I believe. But now he's fighting on shows he'd of had no chance getting on without that exposure. Rocky Fielding was a raw novice when he won the series , he's since developed quite well.. What the normal series do is give novices, middle of the road fighters & those towards the end a massive oppurtunity. And tbh on any show nationwide you'll find 2 or 3 4rder's plus a couple of 6's.It serves a purpose & I believe would sell well if the journeymen were selected correctly.

 

I disagree - I'd rather see the journeymen put in there with a chance of winning - fairly treat by judges etc & if they believe they can win,chances are they will perform to they're best ability - they've been in with the whose who of British boxing & the vast majority have gone the distance, the majority of the time. Take Max Maxwell for example.

 

So by posting a clip of Audley & a fella in an un even fight means the idea is terrible? that's like showing a GGG fight and saying 'aah no point in it he's ruining the sport' (in no way comparing Audley to GGG there but the point is the same)

I'm talking about a JOURNEYMEN prizefighter - where WELL SELECTED fighters are entered. It's also worth mentioning there have been many good , even fights in the series too.

 

I'm not grasping what your getting at mate?

 

and? I'm really not gettting this at all? It's a post about Prizefighter Journeymen & your on about Harrison being ranked by the IBF.

 

No.. it's about PF journeymen, but ta!
