    Demetrice King
    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=219753&cat=boxer

    Domonic Jenkins
    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=114382&cat=boxer

    Mike Miller

    Alvaro Morales
    http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=393588&cat=boxer


    Fighters who often steps in as late replacements and almost always goes the distance, even winning a round or two against the home fighter. And once in a while they also spoils the party for the favorite.

    Julius Francis was a journeyman with some good wins and fought a who's-who of European boxing and some top world names too, although he did get stopped a few times.

    John Ruiz, Zeijko Mavrovic, Axel Schulz, Vitali Klitschko, Mike Tyson, Sinan Samil Sam, Vladimir Virchis, Alexander Dimitrenko, Luan Krasniqi, Audley Harrison, Matt Skelton, Taras Bidenko, Roman Greenburg.

    Also has a win over Danny Williams and some other decent undefeated Euro fighters and beat some of the best of British to win the Lonsdale belt outright and Commonwealth title.

    Part of the reason why the HW division is so blargh nowadays is that there ARE no litmus tests at HW for young up and coming fighters. There isn't a Nate Campbell or Joel Casamayor or Glenn Johnson for prospects to push these guys and find out what they're really made off.

    A lot of the journeymen that have been mentioned are from the 90's.. i am trying to bring the millennium journeymen to the table.. Calvin Jones and Nate Tubbs, along with Sed Fields are all from the 90's.. Mo Wilson is too along with David Jaco...

    Zuri Lawrence is one from the 2000's and so is Jameel really...

    Before you know it Chazz and Malcolm Tann will be recognised as such..

    Dominick Guinn is going down that route now also..

    Mike Sprott is a very good european example................

    :lol: Oh yeah, right. Skeeter was Doug's friend right? The blue dude with the big nose? Yeah, I can't seem to get rid of Bowe. And I think that this avatar suits me, so I stick with it.
