    Who is your p4p best journeyman?
    Judging should be scored on
    Resume
    Survival percentage
    Losses that would be wins if scored fairly
    Defensive capabilities
    Reliabilty
    Easiness on the eye

    I'm interested to see the names bought forward, a bit of info about your choices would be appreciated. Without having a proper look I'm going to give some props to Kristian laight. His resume and reliability is unreal. 300 fights, that's a crazy amount. On reading the recent book names Journeyman it was hard to find a single journeyman in this era who doesn't see him as a don. The only problem is I haven't or can't recall watching him fight, so he may have never been that good to watch , I will have to educate myself more on him later.

    Honestly kamil sokolowski could have made a name for himself if someone early on spotted his potential and guided him correctly. He has been on the wrong side of some bad decisions. Perhaps could have dropped to cruiser.

    All time..... who was the guy that ko’d adonis before the nail? He was pretty good.

    johnny nelson turned a journeyman career into world champion

    I found 3, one had 1 fight, 1 was a ex world champ, and one was close to having a losing record, don't see how any of these men can count for the p4p best journeyman of all time mate

    His résumé.

    Lost most of his big fights, but fought the best so much that he picked up wins over HOFers left right and center.
    Take a look for yourself

    Any man that beats Harry greb has a rightful place in the journeyman p4p list. Thanks for your contribution sir
