    I don't regard Sprott as a journeyman because he is a former champ himself and on his day could turn over a good prospect.

    Who currently would really test a new pro, go the distance, but would not be seen as too dangerous?

    I don't see why you can't call someone like Sprott a journeyman.

    Since his win over Harrison he's been doing the rounds on the continent and giving people a tough 8 or 10 round workout.

    Granted, he's not a journeyman in the typical sense of course.

    I really like journeymen that upset the house fighters, those with padded records or only there because of their brother - Baguley upsetting Vinny Mitchell was a classic example.

    There's the answer - Baguley. Anyone not on their game WILL lose.... barring a bull**** decision.

    Incredibly harsh, plus he has retired.

    As for the thread question, Patrick Mendy.

    He's not British but Breidis Prescott's an OK journeyman.

    You need help to start making sense when you post a comment.

    Don't know if El Maachi counts as a journeyman, or a Brit for that matter.

    Youssef Al Hamidi - he never gets much notice, but he's a ****ing nightmare for most guys. Shame he has no punch.
