what is a journeyman? and is a souphpaw, lefthanded and an orthodox mean right handed? thanks

Answer
Hi again Neil,

"Journeyman" is a term used to describe a boxer who is probably never going to be a contender or champion, but who is typically brought in as an opponent for prospects, fringe contenders, or other journeymen. These wouldn't be pure "opponents" who are just brought in to lose, but usually they get work because they are reliable performers.

Your definitions are correct.

Regards,
Lian
