    So what is Terrence Crawford to you then, is he just 'A level' as well?

    If you knew anything about boxing, you wouldn't need to look for references.

    Unbelievable.

    Everybody who knows boxing knows that a "journeyman" refers to a lower level type fighter who isn't in the mix for world honours.

    Reggie was a world champ and a top ten rated fighter for years.

    Nobody who knows anything about boxing refers to B level guys as journeyman.

    If you didnt know that, then you are just screaming out to the forum that you're a newb.

    Why would I put Reggie up as an elite fighter?

    My argument was that he wasn't a journeyman.

    And you simply have to know that in boxing terms, journeyman is classed as a lower level fighter who's just making a living for himself.

    Journeyman fighters are not world class, top 10 ranked fighters.

    Well, that's a bunch of horse****. Plenty of journeymen have been world champion. Journeymen ain't the guys losing to Wilder on his debut. Journeymen are well travelled(hence the ****ing name journey)ed, seasoned pros who give A-Level talent decent matches, like what Johnson is.

    Yes, HAVE as in a past tense.

    A journeyman could have once been a champ.

    I was referring to Reggie Johnson at MW, the one who Toney fought.

    He was a world champ and a top 10 rated guy.

    Nobody but you thinks he was a journeyman.


    The best definition of a journeyman, is a guy like Danny Williams. A fringe level guy, who travels around just to make a living.

    How can world class equal A- ?

    Nobody classes the likes of Martin Murray as an A-level guys.

    What are you saying, that Joe Calzaghe consistently fought A-level guys?

    Why are you making things difficult?


    Elite/A level guys: Floyd, Andre, Manny.

    B level guys: Froch, Kessler.

    C level guys: Murray, Rubio.


    If A level was just world class, as in being rated in the top 20 at their weight, then just about every top level pro would be classed as an A level guy.

    Indongo was a world champion, top 2 rated guy in the division. Right now he's B-Level. Many people think he might even be C-Level. Reggie Johnson was never in that A-level, no amount of moving the goalposts to suit your argument will change that fact.

    I've never once said that Reggie was an A level guy.

    Well, yeah you can do A- if you want. Like with Thurman and Spence. Fans might have Thurman over Spence and have him a solid A, and Spence an A-
    You never did that though, that's your own problem fetching that up now, too late in the game to save this poll from further embarrassment.

    You said he was World Class, that's A-Level. I'm getting tired of repeating myself over and over. I'm replying to everything you have to say, please read my comments, or I'm putting you on ignore because you're obviously incapable of handling a debate.

    Well, he's my P4p number 1 right now so he's obviously elite. If he plans on moving up to 147lbs and gets knocked out by Spence or Thurman, once he retires he won't be elite. Same goes with Garcia. That's what Nunn was, he was elite whilst he was active, right now. No, he's not elite. He's A-Level. Bud may finish his career at A-Level, many great fighters have like Nunn, Collins, Eubank, Benn, Kessler, Froch.

    You've just said that Indongo was B class, and that some people think he's now C class.

    Yet you're also saying that just by being world class gives you an A level rating.

    You're just waffling nonsense.


    It's that time again.

    I need my tissues, my ****, and my old K.O. magazine from 95, that's if the pages aren't stuck together.

    Goodnight.

    Grab double the tissues, some for yourself, some for the poster of Roy on your bedroom door.
