    Bit of a weird post this, but when I describe how good a boxer is I use the words: part-time boxers, journeymen, gatekeepers, contenders, champions, ATGs. Prospects probably in a different category. Ranked in order.

    Am I missing any words that might fit in between the skill sets? EG - contenders, gatekeepers, etc.

    ATG - Usyk
    Champion - Dubois
    Strong contender - Parker
    Weak contender - Bakole/Whyte
    Strong gatekeeper - Chisora/Miller
    Weak gatekeeper - Yoka
    Strong journeyman - McKean
    Weak journeyman - Tetteh
    Part-time boxer - Spilmont

    Prospect - Itauma

    I wouldn't describe Dubois as a champion
