    Can we have a moment for the great Peter Buckley - journeyman extraordinaire.

    Another good one, how about Yousseff Al-Hamidi - he's been in the ring with loads of big names and actually isn't as bad as his record suggests.

    David Kehoe.
    Saw him get beat by Willie Bilan in Kirkcaldy before he then went across to the crowd and started winding them up for no apparent reason.
    It worked and was pretty funny.

    al-hamidi

    Vince Phillips-cannon fodder for zoo but still beat his arse worse then prime hatton did to an old past his prime version
    -emanual burton he was robbed against Figueroa and countless others
    theres allot of very good fighters who played journeyman early in there career and turned elite for a short period b4 they were dethrown cuevas was a bit of a journeyman b4 his 10 fight defence
