I like your blueprint BB. Personally I'd like to see area titles be contested and talked about on a higher level and I'd fit these somewhere into your 'five journeymen' category. I'd also like to see some of our prospects matched earlier in their career. I dont mind seeing boxers with a record of 20-3 go onto the world stage. I'd prefer that than a record of 30-0 before being found out!
This seems like a fair career map to success to me, hopefully things are starting to head that way through demand for decent match ups
