Your favorite HW journeyman.

Maurice Harris and Derrick Jefferson comes to mind when talking about favorite Journeymen.

 

Lamon Brewster, can we call him a Journey Man?

 

Absolutely not. That's outrageous.

 

Thought not, Fres Oquendo then, but the guy's been screwed out of alot of matches.

 

:yep Bert Cooper definitely. Jimmy Thunder as an honorable mention.

 

In this decade, maybe.

:-(

I like Friday Ahunanya.

 

Monte Barret is not a journeyman, he's limited but he's got some talent. He's C level.

IMO, there are 5 different level of fighters out there:
A level - fighters who can compete at the top (Wlad, Chagaev)

B level - good fighters who lack a little to be A level, but can beat an A level fighter on a lucky night. (Virchis, Meehan)

C level - decent fighters with some talent who can compete some but can't win big fights. (Mollo, Monte Barret)

Journeyman - decent, brave, tough, in shape trained fighters with no talent who can hold their own in the ring. (Cisse Salif, Mora Jr.)

Tomate cans - out of shape, untalented people who are courageus enough to step in the ring and put their health at risk for some money. (Bryon Polley, etc.)

 

where does a gatekeeper fit in or do you consider that class c?

 

Lionel Butler

 

Kali Meehan for me being Aussie.

Also a bit of a Michael Grant fan.

They are two good journeymen for me.

 

Jimmy Thunder far and away my favourite journeyman heavyweight.

 

The Ding A Ling man, Lamon Brewster

 

Cooper was my favorite contender. I wouldn't consider Cooper as a Journeyman, but he is definately a Gatekeeper.

Guys like Cooper, Barrett, Grant, and the like are solid B-level fighters.

Guys like Kali Meehan, Ross Purity, Bigfoot Martin, those are C level fighters.
