Hi gents,

109 with 1 minute to go: However I'm having the Sergei Lyakovich as I tried to smany different spellings and it wouldn't take any of them, plus "PINKON Thomas" as IBO champion was missing the L so I gave myself that one too.

109 officially, 111 in reality.

Pleased with that :-)

ps: Lee Savold and Dannel Nicholson escaped me.

89. I was super impressive from Marciano through Holmes, but where I lost it was between the fourth champ and Johnson, and then ofter proliferation. Guys like Brian Neilson and Liakovich and Brewster that, stupidly, I just didn't think of.

Tough, tough game

Thought I was leading the pack with 106 until I read this. Like you, couldn't get Lyakovich right (that's how I've always seen it spelled).

Pinklon Thomas IS spelled correctly, although that may have been fixed since you played. I missed him, in any case. Couldn't for the life of me remember who beat Witherspoon, was sure it was Dokes.

Somehow I forgot Schmelling!

That only leaves Savold, Thunder and Nielsen. Somehow I remembered Nicholson!

Not at all bad, but then I am a heavyweight anorak. Well, used to be before the current crop came along...

Can anyone name two world heavyweight champions stopped on their debut?

No cant think but Jack Johnson was stopped in his 3rd fight who were they?

Mike Weaver was stopped on his debut by Howard Smith and Bonecrusher Smith by James Broad (Crusher had a brave manager).
They were not 'proper' world heavyweight champs, of course, but Weaver gave a peak Larry Holmes a great fight and Crusher went the full 12 with a young, smouldering Mike Tyson (it was dull, I know). In today's boxing climate there are probably even more world heavyweight champs who lost their debut.

[Coco]

I can't believe I forgot Jimmy Thunder!

[Jeff Thomas]

Great game 81.... lol

Hi there Mr Fennell,

the WBC reign is listed as Pinklon Thomas, but in the 90's era I was missing an IBO champion who the author listed as "Pinkon" with no L, therefore it would not accept me "mis"spelling it ..... if you see what I mean.

Ah, but did you know the game will accept surnames alone?

You would have gotten even more with the extra time that frees up!

Can anyone name two world heavyweight champions stopped on their debut?

How about the only former world heavyweight champion to lose to a debutant AFTER winning his title?

Same here. 109 with much time lost by spelling Lykhovich's name right. I somehow missed Bonecrusher Smith (as well as three IBO titlists).

Yep, John Carlo beat Leon Spinks for the distinction of being the only boxer to beat a former world heavyweight champion on his debut.

A feat that is somehow overshadowed in certain circles by later featuring in the only pro boxing match between two BoxRec posters (Johnny Bombs v American Clubfighter).
