    Good one, there’s a whole host of British heavyweights from that era that could be considered. Julius Francis, Martin Rogan and a few others.

    Juan Carlos Gimenez (28-4-2),
    Nigel Benn (22-1),
    James Kinchen (45-7-2) , also fought a draw

    defeated -
    Art Bayless (5-1)
    Kevin Watts (15-1)
    Nicky Walker (34-3-2)

    Whilst never a world beater Amparo fought some of the better MWs/SMWs and even upset a few

    Reggie Strickland has always struck me as a guy that was better than one might think. If you look at his record, early on he had a number of stoppage losses but, suddenly, he stopped getting stopped. I'm betting that this change came about right around the time that 60 and 90 day suspensions after stoppage losses became widespread.

    A journeyman is a guy who knows how to fight. As simple and as complex as that. It's a feeling boxing people have about a fighter.
