    How could I forget Angel Robinson Garcia? Probably the definition of the title journeyman.

    I wish there was more footage of him plying his trade. His record is jaw dropping.

    I would also add Joe Miceli to this mix. In an era where there was only one champ per division, Miceli fought 12. He duked it out - sometimes a number of times - with Ike Williams, Bud Smith, Johnny Bratton, Kid Gavilan, Johnny Saxton, Virgil Akins, Don Jordan, Luis Rodriguez, Curtis Cokes, Ralph Dupas, Gene Fullmer and Joey Giardello. Also fought so many top contenders such as Gil Turner, Isaac Logart, Stan Harrington, Pierre Langlois and Bobby Dykes. Finished with an underwhelming 60-42-9 record. But those numbers don't tell the story.

    Yes, because armchair nobody knows more than writers who saw him fight from the 1930's onward.

    Walcott was a journeyman in the truest sense of the word.

    We should define this.

    A world champ like Saoul Mamby wasn’t a journeyman.

    I think anyone who fought for a world title should be excluded. And probably anyone who was ranked at any time.

    That would keep it to true journeymen.

    Get a statue of Bigfoot Martin to put right outside the doorway of this august institution.
