Pick pretty much any five random, recent or current US world champs, in any division. Have a look at their first ten pro fights and see how many of their opponents had huge numbers of fights on their cards, like our journeymen do. I don't think you'll find (m)any. You'll see a few that have losing records but their system doesn't usually result in journeymen fighting three or four times a month and losing them all.Final round wrote:I like the eggs at the wall terminology but is their journeyman system built like ours, paid to test a bit but not too much otherwise the work dries up
Like I implied earlier, there is a lower level akin to our unlicensed scene where you get some real hopeless cases but when it comes to guys who will get on national TV, the US way of doing things is a lot tougher than ours.
