Has Gloves, Will Travel: Professional Opponent HOF

No journeyman Hall of Fame would be complete without Everett "Bigfoot" Martin:

LIke Marion Wilson, he had a chin of iron, and fought a who's who of 1980s and 90s HWs. Even beat Tim Witherspoon by SD.

 

How about this guy:

Stan Johnson 4-40 (37 ko)

http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/92488

He seems to have fought under aliases too so probably he had more fights than this.

Fought Halstead, Cobb, Botha and Tillis.

I wonder how guys like Stan are doing. Must be a damn hard way to make money.

 

Strauss mouse fought on every continent except Antarctica and he would have fought there if possible
Best thing about h8m is he never wanted to be a boxer kind of just fell in to it

 

That might seem hard, but he only got stopped 5 times. However this guy has 112 losses but 40 by KO - also fought Golovkin

Buck Smith .got about

 

Good shout man, you hear the story of the time he got knocked out twice in one night?

 

Sure did under two different names iirc
I'm pretty much sure he claimed he was mouse Strauss and then on said night when the referee clocked him entering the ring said basically you got sparked out earlier to which he replied that was my brother I'm moose Strauss
Something like that sleep smoke and a few drinks I forget shot man
Good day sir

 

If I'm wrong please feel free to try and get the old grey matter working again / reremember
Prime Candidate for altzimers I think

 

Brilliant thread, its educated me thats foresure. Outstanding guys thanks

 

Just useless info we all forget but very interesting , testimony to humanic capabilities of individual characters that life provides
History in any form can be found and acknowledge
I'm shyte at English even though I am and math all round dumd a55 you could say

 

You brought more info dude
I tipped the hat in his direction earlier
But you shone a better light on his contribution to the sport and should gotten more than he gave

 

I hope this thread doesn't devolve into another one of those "let me list contenders/fringe contenders because I can't think of any actual journeymen off the top of my head"
