Trivia - ratings

Right, one instruction - don't cheat by looking them up as you'll spoil it for everyone!

One good feature of 'The Ring's ratings is that they show you how many weeks the boxers have been in the ratings for.

In their current list of all divisions, who are the top three fighters for longevity? (An extra electronic pat on the back if you get them in order).

You're getting there! Tszyu is in, Holy not.

Now comes the difficult one.

Watch some bugger come in and get it whilst 'pretending' they haven't looked it up.

Actually noticed this the other day but I'll say nothing. It's a tough one and I'd be surprised if anybody gets it legitimately.

I think it must be anywhere in the Ring ratings, knockout.

Tiozzo only has 82 weeks in there for example - must have been outside their own rankings before this.

Johnny Nelson !! might be

1. Hopkins, 715 weeks

(I hope I haven't fucked up after all this! Did double-check though. Put it up cos I was surprised)

Carlos Boldomir or that Gonzalez who fought Collazo ? Trying to think of shocking ones

knockout · Post by **knockout** » 11 Nov 2005, 13:06
