A really good insight into the world of journeymen....

exactly, money.
3rd highest domestic earner in 2004. i would be satisfied

 

I could swallow my pride for that.

 

didnt jeffro say his fight with buckley was harder than a lot of his fights with top amateurs or something 2 that effect?

 

not sure about that. he lands some good shots in the match.

maybe it was baz he was talking about? but i know he has a massive amount of respect for him. was asking for the buckley-mcmillan a year ago, mcmillan arguably was losing before the finish.

buckley just doesnt give you anything to work with in terms of a target, doesnt throw anything more dangerous than a jab. which is pretty snappy. he did box for england i believe:think



it might be a similar to how joe frazier said that scrap iron johnson was his toughest fight

 

They are some of the biggest earners in the sport!!!

 

Interesting article, it is surprising they keep there license for so long when they lose so much. Most of them don't get knocked out though and I suppose that's what is important

 

That is also a very well written article. well done:thumbsup

 

Top guys these lot... Would luv to see a prizefighter with these boys, deserve hell of a lot of credit..........

 

Everyone to their own but I couldn't swallow mine and I would be embarrassed.

 

I've often thought it would be such a great subject matter to make a feature length documentary on with a high production value. Not just an hour long HBO special but a proper film.

 

Spot on.

 

Anyone with the bollocks to get in the ring, win, lose, draw or brutally flattened with the first punch of the fight should hold their head high, and deservedly so IMO.

In a World with so many easily won titles, I guess it does seem kinda' pointless to fight unless you're going to reach the pinnacle of the sport, but a job is a job, I bet there are plenty of office clerks that work that know they have no chance of becoming the MD, no reason to jack it in.

 

This is true. There's a difference in testing a prospect and merely making up the numbers and falling over first time you get clipped.
