Trivia: Who am I?

Bundana · Post by **Bundana** » 26 Mar 2013, 01:29

Champion/world champion/title holder: Someone who, at some point during his career, held a world title recognized by BoxRec.
"25 consecutive years club": Boxers who have had at least 1 pro bout, in each of 25 consecutive calendar years.
Knockout: A fight that ends in a KO, TKO or RTD.
HOFer: Member of the IBHOF.

OK, here we go... 15 rounds for the championship:

Round 1: Who challenged, unsuccessfully, for world titles in 2 different decades - before finally being crowned champion in a 3rd decade?

Round 2: On the record of which boxer, can we find the most fights against world champions?

Round 3: I had 55 pro fights - of which 28 were against HOFers. Who am I?

Round 4: Name a former member of the exclusive club of retired (at least 5 years!) world champions, who won every fight they ever had.

Round 5: On a list of world champions with the most consecutive 1st-round ko wins, Edwin Valero is of course No 1 with 18(!) - but who is 2nd on such a list?
Controversial: Greg Page

Round 6: No champion had more fights than Jack Britton (last count: 346!) - but which 20th century world champ had the fewest pro bouts?

Round 7: Name the last/latest boxer to become a member of the "25 consecutive years club".
Controversial: Silvio Branco

Round 8: Which boxer(s) challenged for world titles in 3 different divisions - without ever becoming champion?

Round 9: Which NON-champion was once able to boast, that he was the youngest man who had fought for the heavyweight crown since Sullivan vs Corbett?

Round 10: I wasn't even born, when my brother made his pro debut - but many years later, we would appear on no less than 10 cards together. Who are we?

Round 11: Name 2 boxers, who after their first 100 paid bouts could proudly say, that they held a win over every opponent they had met in a pro ring.

Round 12: Who started his career with the longest streak of fights, without a single ko defeat?

Round 13: After portraying 2 HOF-champions in movies, I fought a real champion for the first time - in a real fight! Who am I?

Round 14: On which boxer's record can we find the longest streak of consecutive fights against heavyweight champions?

Round 15: McLarnin and Greb fought 15 HOFers, Moore fought 14, Langford met 13, at 12 we find... well, who are the men with 12 HOFers on their records?
wsbuf: Sugar Ray Robinson

Close but some else had a longer streak before being stopped.

No, he was stopped in his 3rd fight of his career, so it's not him.

Correct!

There a few that could join the club if they fight this year, including Roy Jones Jr.

Really, haha that was a pure guess as I was looking at his record the other night and noticed that sting of one rounds wins

No - all 3 Shade brothers were born within 5 years of each other. So it can't be any of them.

We're looking for 2 brothers born more than 20 years apart.

Neither one! At the time SRR had 100 bouts, he had 2 draws and didn't get to fight one of them until much later.

That's confusing because of the word "former."

"Former" means, that our man was once a member of this "club", but has lost his membership...
in other words, we're looking for a world champion who retired after having won every fight he ever had - only to make a comeback more than 5 years later, where he lost his perfect record.

Damn, he did have a lot:
Pac, Forbes, Floyd, Mayorga, B-Hop, Sturm, SSM, Campas, Vargas, Castillejo, Gatti, Tito, Quartey, JCC, Camacho, Whitaker, Gonzalez, Leija, Hernandez, Ruelas, Molina, Paez, Bredahl, Dorsey.
I count 24. Am I missing any?

No, you're not missing any. DLH met 24 different world champions - more than any other boxer!

However, the question was who had the most fights against world champions.
DLH met both Chavez and Mosley twice, so he had a total of 26 fights against world champions - which is quite a bit short of the record.

Valger had (at the latest count!) 215 pro bouts withever ever being ko'd... which is good enough for 2nd place (behind Harry Stone with 219) on a list of boxers with the most fights without ever suffering a ko defeat.

However, there was a guy who started his career with a longer streak than that, without being ko'd.
