How many retired world champions can you name who, throughout their pro career, ONLY met opponents with a winning record?

Yes, it's a very exclusive little club. The only other member I can think of is David Reid. Not 100% sure those 4 are the only ones, though. Could be some I have overlooked.

But the member count is likely to be at least doubled in the foreseeable future. Champions like Usyk, Lomachenko, Rigondeaux and Gamboa have yet to meet opponents with a non-winning record - and, at this stage of their respective careers, I doubt they ever will!

Easy one (especially if you look it up, so don't) - What sport did Sugar Ray Robinson's son participate in, for what team?

Saw him play (skate) when I was a kid - the 'what team' question was a trick question (but you recognized it) - roller derby was like a carnival - the teams traveled together putting on a show, and he being a star would be assigned to whatever team was 'home' that night. If they were in the east he was a Chief, on the west coast he would suddenly become a 'Bay Area Bomber.' [Etc.]
