80/113

Surprised that I managed to get so many, although I missed out some really obvious ones.

100/113

Really good quiz. Very embarrassed about a couple I missed, but some of those IBO, WBO ones are hard

75

I missed some pretty obvious ones too. I won't name them yet, don't wanna spoil it for anyone

94/113

Not bad I guess, great quiz.

Shockingly I couldn't remember Baer or Carnera's name! Felt the pressure I guess!

Couldn't spell Liakovich either.

72. Would have been in the 80's but there were some that I couldn't remember the spelling of.

86 and forgot some easy ones as well

83 and ran out of time......enjoyed that

metropol · Post by **metropol** » 21 Apr 2009, 15:50

65 , i was happy enough with that couldnt spell ibragamov right or chagaev

hitman09 · Post by **hitman09** » 21 Apr 2009, 16:40

79. Missed out on a lot of the 80s ones, and forgot about Chris Byrd.

TerribleTerry · Post by **TerribleTerry** » 21 Apr 2009, 16:59

82.

Remembered Francesco Damiani but somehow forgot Riddick Bowe and Max Schmeling

No way the likes of Jimmy Thunder or Danell Nicholson should ever feature on a list of 'heavyweight champs' in my eyes.

Then again, its a great game!

youngrell · Post by **youngrell** » 21 Apr 2009, 17:02

73 for me, I think I got most obvious ones but struggled on early 80's and some lesser known from waaaaaay back in the day

Cracking game, would love to do it for other divisions too

93

coulndt think of the ibo , wbo ones

stujones · Post by **stujones** » 21 Apr 2009, 17:33

95
Tunney, Sharkey, Baer, Braddock, Salvold, Coetzee (spelling), Thomas, Page, Berbick, Damiani, Nicholson, Thunder, Sanders, Liakovich, Maskaev were the ones that let me by

87. Missed most of the early ones

Neri · Post by **Neri** » 21 Apr 2009, 19:25

78, nearly kicked myself in the face when I seen the ones I missed, the mind goes blank when under pressure. :(

jeej · Post by **jeej** » 21 Apr 2009, 21:01

I got 79. Was let down by my inability to remember many names from the 80s through to mid 90s, embarrassingly enough.

What can I say? I was under pressure!

el_grande_mauro_mina · Post by **el_grande_mauro_mina** » 21 Apr 2009, 22:09

79 - got the vast majority of historical ones but missed out on John Tate, Ernie Terrell and Sonny Liston!

went pear shaped post Larry Holmes - a decent challenge for any boxing fan!

82

Just how do you spell Ingo's surname!!!!!

Brian Nielsen was probably my most obscure result!

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 22 Apr 2009, 06:50

71. Disappointing. Although a lot of the 10 minutes was spelt on Ingo's surname. Made a few howling misses.

doctorboxing · Post by **doctorboxing** » 22 Apr 2009, 08:14

73 but I missed out Frank Bruno!

Also missed a lot of the very early ones as well

Same here, sprlling let me down on some.

Shirow · Post by **Shirow** » 22 Apr 2009, 08:54

I thought i worked well under pressure. There i was unable get the names with the clock counting. I was stuck muttering Night Train, Night Train for about 2 mins until i could pull Liston's real name out of my brain.

Fairly disappointing 80. Some of the most obvious i missed out Herbie Hide, Patterson & Schmeling

Lenny · Post by **Lenny** » 22 Apr 2009, 09:07

82, spelling, time and those bloody 80's and 90's belt holders did me in.

I got 70 right it was the early ones that got me.
