Bums gotta eat too man!!! Let th em fight, they got mouths to feed, prospects highlight reels to end up on.
They are essential.

I agree that journeymen are crucial to boxing as promoters will always want to set their prospects up with an "easy" fight to build their records up while protecting the prospect's 0 and the prospects learn a lot from those fights and become better boxers but I've got a question.

As you know, the Japanese don't **** about with their matchmaking and get the best prospects to fight the other best prospects and they don't care about losing the 0. We've also said that we wished the West did this (to clarify, I do believe the Japanese way is better) but if the West did adopt that attitude and got the best prospects to fight each other then wouldn't that put journeymen out of a job as the promoters wouldn't need to worry about protecting their fighter's 0 and the prospects would be fighting the other up and coming prospects and learning from those experiences instead?

Not really bud. There's still journey men in Japan!  I mean you still should build a young fighter. Just take the training wheels off a bit sooner. Instead of building to 20-0, which is very common in boxing. Once you get to around 10-0, that should be more than enough to know whether or not you are ready

Thanks for answering! Good to know that the West could adopt the Japanese approach without putting journeymen out of work. Hopefully someday we will!
