Who is the most succesfull journeyman ever?

[JAB5239]

I would have to say Butter Bean he's the only Journeyman ever to crack millions so I would have to say he's the most successful

Peter McNeely should be up there with the money end of this GS for being more tomato can than journeyman and getting more than a half million to fight Tyson.

Glen Johnson

Zab Judah is a journeyman who had some succes, like Glen Johnson.

I dont think Judah is a journeymen. You can make the case Glen Johnson is a journeymen it seems like he has been all over the globe and has a workmen like blue colloar work ethic.

I'm not hating on good old Zab Judah, why would I do that? But which good boxers did he defeat? Which wins were his best?

A "journeyman" is a boxer who has little or no expectation of winning his fights, thus he is said to be "along for the journey". They are generally competent boxers who possess solid boxing skills and/or the ability to absorb punishment. Often they were aspiring novices or even prospects, but were defeated and found to have limitations which relegated them to the role of journeyman.

Journeymen will often serve as opponents for young up and coming prospects and will often step in at late notice should a fight fall through. Journeymen are said to have little or no expectation of winning fights against contenders or gatekeepers, but this does not preclude them from having a winning record against less-skilled fighters.

This^^^

I wouldn't count anyone who holds or held a belt in his career as a journeyman (I'm not talking about all the continentals and variations, "champion of my apartment building" sort).
