That's a very good answer but it's not the right one. Maybe I phrased it wrong so let me give it another shot:

Who was the first black boxer to hold a mexican title?

Bloody hell. Good question. I'm guessing it would be a Cuban exile, but maybe that's putting me completely on the wrong track. How about Jose Legra?

Well you are right in that he wasnt born in Mexico. But think heavyweights.

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 09 Sep 2003, 20:33

Did Black Bill ever fight in Mexico?

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 09 Sep 2003, 20:37

I just did a search on his record and no he didn't get anywhere close to Mexico. But your guess was close.

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 09 Sep 2003, 22:24

Last clue: He was born in Canada.

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 10 Sep 2003, 00:33

Nope.

Just as I saw your post the result from World Cup Qualifier came along: Chile beat Peru 2-1, which is probably as irrelevant as this trivia question. So it was a good way to end it, Jaclem.

By the way, the answer is Sam Langford (KO 1 over Jim Savage in 1923)

But if he was born in Canada, wouldn't he be Canadian and not Mexican?

Damn! I was going to say Chalkey Wright

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 10 Sep 2003, 10:42

Would it be George Dixon. (Oops! You already gave us the answer).

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 10 Sep 2003, 18:35

OK heres a new one:

Who were the last two fighters to participate in a fight to the finish? If possible give date and venue too.

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 10 Sep 2003, 18:56

You are close but none of those is the right answer

bennie · Post by **bennie** » 10 Sep 2003, 19:10

John L. Sullivan against Jake Kilrain on July 8, 1889, in Richburg, Mississippi.

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 11 Sep 2003, 11:39

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 11 Sep 2003, 23:14

It involved a black boxer vs. a white boxer but Johnson-Willard is not the correct answer

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 11 Sep 2003, 23:23

I don't think we mentioned that one in this thread. Keep scrolling up

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 11 Sep 2003, 23:25

Answer will be revealed at midnight ET

Broncano · Post by **Broncano** » 12 Sep 2003, 00:31
