Do people exist who work in supermarkets and stack shelves, only to boast the profits of the business owners? Do factory workers exist only to boast the profits of the factory owners?

Note: Journeymen boxers, most likely have their own stories and reasons for fighting at the level they are competing at 'boxing is a brutal and competitive sport, and people all have different levels of ability. That statement is relevant in all fields of business and sport, even within the boxing media. I am sure there are many different types of people contributing to the boxing media at different levels, maybe? Metaphorically there are journeymen people within that sector of boxing'.

Journeymen boxers exist, because that is their level 'and that is alright, that is life'.

Anyone who has watched boxing for many years, will be well aware of how journeymen boxers are utilized 'and I don't think that is a issue'.

To conclude: Boxing is a one of the last true working class, blue collar sports 'and I personally think, that is why journeymen boxers exist. It is still an opportunity to participate in the sport, and better themselves instead of doing things within society which are potentially not so great'.

And there are most likely different levels of journeymen, recently? A former boxer and cruiserweight WBC world champion called Toney Bellew, suggested that Micky Ward was a journeymen boxer. I personally have never considered him a journeymen boxer. But according to Bellew, he was until he collided with Arturo Gatti. But before Micky Ward fought Gatti, he did win the WBU World title vs Shea Neary in a great fight' etc.
