    stupid/tough question but would you consider Hall of Famers like Jimmy Carter (not the president) or Joe Brown journey men? they lost a ridiculous number of fights but beat a hell of a lot of guys to. Not all time great skills but hard working, determined honest fighters. Sound like journey-men to me

    No.

    Tommy Loughran has something along 30 losses but he ain't no journeyman.

    Arturo Gatti evolved into something of a journeyman over the years

    Peter Buckley- the bloke has done so much for bringing on British fighters and although he didn't reach the top is a complete legend of British Boxing. Check out his record and the champions he has faced in his biography on his Boxrec profile:
