What about for a challenge, see how many fights you can take in a year & survive.
I don't think that Billy implied that being a journeyman was easy and it has to be conceded that if a boxer is attempting to force the issue and press the opponent then they are going to walk into hard punches; if the primary objective is going the distance rather than winning then you can go into a shell or get through.

(I'd not last half a minute and don't imagine it's at all easy but an ambitious and attack minded boxer is open to hard punches coming back).

I can see you've a point, can you see that I have one as well or am I 'talking' bollocks?

We get loads of new pro's taking to the ranks & they have to sell tickets & win, they get plenty of notice & training & get built up on journeymen or rarely other ticket sellers, it's no given they will last more then two seasons. They don't get served up to a Bradley Saunders,Campbell or Joshua & there's no telling they'd ever be capable to do so & if they fail to become a championship fighter they might not be tough enough to turn up & mess good kids around & fiddle there way through its a talent on its own

Angel Robinson Garcia got stopped but he is certainly the first name I think of when you debate insane durability:
