please feel free to help expand the list. also has the number of travellers who turn pro been fairly consistent? are there more doing it now? less? i know retired pros like wharton and martin power are travellers but i dont really know much about boxing from more than 20 years ago.

How come travellers aren't generally punchers.I understand they are drilled as boxers from very young and that is the main reason but so many are just missing that ko power.
