    Craig Woodruff &
    Tony Pace ( both could be decent prospects if they were managed right!
    Nathan King ( looked tough as **** against blackwell)
    Yousef Al Hamidi ( gave many prospects tough fights with his akward style, Joe Costello Ko'd him in 50 seconds on his debut BU BU BANG.. shows you how good Costello is )

    who else is there? who dyou think are the best journeymen?

    Joe costello struggled with lee connelly I thought. Good prospect costello but blasting out al hamidi means ****

    Michael Sprott has been a perennial HW journeyman/trial horse for upcoming talent for the better part of 20 years, then there's Lee Swaby, and of course the legendary Peter Buckley.

    Peter Buckley is the alltime for me , but currentyl Harry Ramabletsa seems to take it to boys and puts in a shift

    William Warburton usually makes his opponents earn their wins.

    My dad Greg Scott-Briggs was a half decent journeyman. He boxed David Haye, Clinton Woods and Ole Klemetsen, got 15 wins aswell.

    He certainly does.Early in the year his upset win over Georgie Kean springs to mind,very capable fighter.

    Agree peter buckley. Journeymen never get the respect they deserve. Tough guys who fight all the time and often with little notice and at times take beating after beating

    I met former Journeyman Boxer on holiday a couple of years ago, Arv Mittoo, lovely fella, would talk boxing all day long, I remember him saying he liked being the journeyman as it tended to pay better and without the need to shift tickets too, and was a regular income. He said he wanted to reach 100 fights and then bail out of competing, He's a smashing lad, I'm still in contact with him now from time to time.

    And most have other jobs and still train and take a pasting but i do love it whe they upset an up coming fighter. Darnell boone in america is a great example of upsetting and hurting future stars

    I think most people would be surprised how good they are too. They may lose most fights but they can fight and beat most any normal guy with ease
