    I hate when people call Douglas a journeyman or bum. As you said, he was just wasted talent. The night he beat Tyson the stars were aligned and everything came together for him. I'd take that version of Douglas to beat any of todays contenders who dont even know how to work the body, move there head or throw anything more than a two punch combination.

    Purrity is the ONLY journeyman to upset Wladimir.......

    Wlad made a rookie mistake thinking he could KO the GOAT chin, and punched himself out over 11 rds. When he gassed.....Purrity put it on him and his corner pulled him out.:think

    Pendleton vs Mayweather has to be up there. Alot of people here naming fighters that produced upsets, but "not" journeymen.

    I would say Sanders was a fringec contender rather than journeyman. Until that point and even after he had not beaten top 10 fighter. Not a bad fighter, just nothing to suggest he was anything more than what he was. I agree with the Puritty explanation, but its still counts. In no way, shape or form should Wlad have lost to him.
     
  11. Michael Bentt was far from being a journeyman but him knocking out Morrison was not how it was planned
