    No world champions included. For me one fighter who made the most of the little talent he had was jon thaxton, through hard work and dedacation jon made him self a living out of boxing. Who else?

    Buckley certainly had talent. That was why he managed to last so long and still be in decent shape now he is done, just because he lost does not make him talentless.

    You say all journeymen are talentless and should find another job and also that Jon Thaxton had no talent even though he had a great career.

    Julius Francis.

    He fought some decent heavyweights over the years(VK,Ruiz,Maskaev,....Ahem-Audley) and didn't he get the soles of his boots sponsered by the Sun when he got beaten by Tyson???
