Trivia: WHO AM I?

Post by boxbible »

I was the owner of two boxing world records. One has been better'd but the other will never be equaled unless boxrec editors find someone else who might be the actual owner of that record, which would be big news to the boxing world.

I am an absolute, all-time great.

OK...

After going 7-7-1 in my first 15 fights, I went on a 65-1-1 tear that included a 50 fight win streak.

I beat two future world champs but never got a world title fight.

How did you cheat on that... I didn't give weight division or era?

no i searched the all time rating and found a guy who had a record that had to be close to it and started with 7 - 7 and a long list of wins and the the last thing i checked was who he beat i also thought it would be an old fighter because i was guessing the reasen he never got a shot was because he was a black?

Alright... try this...

At one point, I owned a record of 61-2, but the champs avoided me like the plague... Finally, towards the end of my career, my countryman, an all-time great, gave me a shot. But, I was already shot by then and lost...

Hint: The champ that gave him the shot is arguably the greatest Mexican of all time...

I am considered the best boxer to ever come out of my nation... When I won the world title, I was listed as undefeated in 60 odd fights but my early record was kinda sketchy... Only later on did my people admit to the press that I'd lost a fight early in my career.

I think you also could've been Jersey Joe Walcott.

Oldest fighter to win the title (the record later broken) and won the title after the most number of tries.

Nah... Chavez only had 40 odd fights when he won his first belt... and that's way too easy.
