I always liked Teddy Reid and Scott Pemberton how about you guys.

I was always a big Sandman fan as well. But the GOAT Journeyman award goes to Emanuel Augustus.

Hmmm, difficult question. I always really liked Jose Medel and Hector Thompson. I'm not sure you can call these guys journeymen though. They were top fighters/contenders when being a contender was the same thing as having a world title today. In today's boxing world they would both be great champions of a number of weight divisions with multiple titles.

Harold Brazier was good fun to watch too.

I think he is a little more than a journeyman but I always loved Smokin Bert Cooper.

He was always overmatched, but he always came to win. Had that old school cross arm defense that allowed him to run into every uppercut his opponents threw at him.

James Thunder, there's alot but most of them fought for a title making them contenders at some point.

Antwun Echols. dude better retire soon though, he's getting hurt nowadays. Yeah he was a contender but he's been journeymen status for a while. Also Efren Hinojosa gets a mention.
