30 for 30
Still had over 2 minutes left on the timer. Some of 'em I had to think about, but most came pretty quick. It sped things up that some guys got upset multiple times

I spent like an hour trying to spell Calazaghe and he wasn't even an answer.
for who? he's never been beaten!
Good point!
I thought he upset Hopkins.
I guessed the Hopkins one. I didn't think Trinidad was favourite... Though admittedly, I stopped watching boxing completely when I left home in 1999 and didn't really start again until I joined here in 2004.
Different time back then. You had to buy the magazines to find out what was going on and wait a week for a result.

Got 28...
Blanked out on Walcott / 1951. Should have known that one.
No clue on Kirkland Laing.. don't even recall seeing that name before.

Probably the best British fighter to never win a world title.
Very talented, but very inconsistent. Probably due to the drink and drugs.
Bit of a wild one, by most accounts.
