Boxing Quiz!

96/122

[gilgamesh]

90% (110 out of 122). Like a fool, I missed Marciano and Roy Jones, while getting the obscure ones.

Great quiz - thanks for posting. Are there quizzes for each division, out of interest?

The one that pissed me off the most to have missed because I looked at it several times before I ran out of time and it just wouldn't come to me was Leon Spinks...when it filled in the blank at the end I was so pissed off. Of course I knew about Leon for some reason my mind just blanked on me

I'm sure it was the same for you with Rocky and Roy.

I didn't even know guys like Jimmy Thunder ever had titles.

Further down the page on Page 1 there's a quiz where you can fill in the blanks of the Ring Magazine's Top 10 P4P lists since 1989

Here's another for the Welterweight division. Name the Champions since 1975.

I'm about to play it right now after this post.

^Never mind that one. Sorry I even posted it.

They had Sugar Ray Robinson listed as WBA Champion after Tommy Hearns....the f*ck?!!!

[gilgamesh]

There's a Middleweight Quiz. I only got 55% of those. It's a well made quiz though. Better than that Welterweight piece of crap one I put up a second ago.

I got 86/122 great quiz,i struggled on Corbett as well,i couldn't get Johannson,Savold(thought it was Lou),Valuev,Akinwande with my spelling, its a pity I didn't realise surnames would do

[Boxerbeetle]

Another good one...

72% didn't help (and I feel ashamed that I had this wrong) I though it was nelson azuma.

If I had another 10 mins I reckon I could have got 80% but I genuinely hadn't even heard of some of them.

I must have wasted half my time trying to spell 'Tszyu'. I'm sure I tried every combination of those letters but it didn't register

[davie]

Did the heavyweight one a second time and got 100.

You just get absolute brain freeze. I counted 5 that I never got the second time that I did get the fvcking first time. Infuriating.

That was solid 52%

I'm loving these quizzes

110/122, I never would have gotten thunder. I spent a good 2 minutes trying to spell Axel Schulz when he never actually was given the title.

That's bloody impressive

Less impressive when I tell you I missed fury. Lol

[Crease]

89%

For some reason I convinced myself that James "Quick" Tallis & Earney Shavers had won World titles...
I must have typed their names in 3 times each.

[Crease]

I scored 75% on the P4P quiz.

It didn't help that I forgot Terry Norris, Winky Wright, James Toney & Antonio Tarver.

- All of which had multiple entries.

And 3 of whom are involved in our current Sim season

I wasn't even thinking about the Sim when I was doing it.
I kept looking at the countries for clues & thinking to myself; "who the hell could that be"? - ended up just confusing me even more.

[tobyh5]

86% and I misspelled Bermane Stiverne.

I got every single one up to 2000 with ease then it became patchy and I even missed David Haye.

In fairness I always had an encyclopedic memory of the heavyweights and studies their history to know most title fight results and some dates. I am good with the middles too but not great, pretty good with welters and light heavies and then more a case of knowing solid scraps around the rest.

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

77% or 94/122

I got all the early ones and the first one I missed out was Greg Page, didn't get any of the later ones and my mind went blank on Tyson Fury and David Haye - probably on purpose...

Middleweights - 41% or 52 out of 124 - it's the modern 'champions' who stump me...

[TheGman]

77% but couldnt think how to spell fitsimmons,couldnt think who held the wba title after ali in 79 or the wbo title in 1989,good quiz that tho

[milpool]

93...I struggled on a lot of the shite champions we've had in recent years as well as all those IBO trinket holders.

[T.M.K]

116/122 for a 95%

Great quiz.

Bloody IBO title stumped me, and I couldn't spell Sergei Lyakovich correctly at all..........


"T.M.K" / Col

[gilgamesh]

93...I struggled on a lot of the shite champions we've had in recent years as well as all those IBO trinket holders.

I've never even considered the IBO title significant so it's odd to me it was even on that quiz.

Ditto!

74% in the first one spelling was a nightmare.. 82% in 2nd one couldn't Spell tsyu and forgot obvious ones like Nas and winky Wright.
