Myung-Woo Yuh

Correct.
I had to figure out a way to differentiate him from Finito, and I'd have said "I never was dropped," except I'm not certain Yuh never was.

Just to let you know, I have been running the New Jersey Golden Gloves the last few weeks. Last night I came home late as I ring announced one of there shows in Jersey City, New Jersey and when I checked my e-mails, I saw the question you put up. With that saying I got up a little late today and saw your other question. Today I have another NJ Golden Glove Show which I will be ring announcing once again in New Brunswick.

Bundana and I have been on several other web sites and most of the time it's just him and I so we both welcome the people on this site very much.

Thanks again, Henry Hascup

Right, lets try again :-)

I was a heavyweight
I had over 50 fights
I was never stopped
I avenged two of my defeats
Of my wins almost 80% were by stoppage
I beat 3 men who fought for a version of a world title
I never got a title shot

Bob Cleroux, But he actually beat 4 (Roy Harris, George Chuvalo, Tom McNeely and Cleveland Williams)

Another Heavyweight who was never stopped in over 50 fights
He beat a future World Champion
He beat a future World title contender
He beat a father of a future World Champion
He beat a father of a future World title contender

Oh man, your the king of these, you even get them right when I get the question wrong, missed McNeeley out. Do you know these off the top of your head or do you keep a list of these type if questions to refer to?

Many of these questions have been asked before or a question close to it, so most, BUT NOT ALL, I do know.

Actually when questions were asked by Bundana over the years I have to do a lot of research to find the answers, so while I am doing the research I find a lot of other information along the way and that helps with other questions.

I am posting this again, as some people might have missed it:

Paul Cavalier

Yes!

I knew Paul very well, and when he died I gave the Eulogy at his wake/funeral.

He was also a sparring partner for Joe Louis, Jack Sharkey and Gene Tunney.

In a little while I will be leaving for the Golden Glove Show, But here's another easy one.

What former Champion beat a Baby, a Puppy. a Pee-Wee, a Babyface, an Angel, and a LuLu but retired when he was KO'ed by a Bunny?

Lauro Salas.

That's it!

Who was the future World Champion that was involved in the debut of Show-Box the New Generation?

That might be too easy!

Leonard Dorin.

Yes, I knew that was too easy!

Here's the last one from me as I have to leave. Another pretty easy one:

What fighter was 'shark-proof?

No idea, give us a clue

I have another one for you

I never won a world title.
I beat 3 fighters who at some point were world champions (incl. stopping one IBHOF fighter)
I also beat 2 world title challengers
I had less than 35 fights.
Of my wins over 75% were by stoppage.
All my defeats were by stoppage, all in 5 rounds or less.
I am still alive.

Just got home a little while ago!

Willie Edwards fits the bill. (Didn't see that my good friend Bundana already answered it!)

My guy was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame

I'm tired I will check back sometime tomorrow!

Think it's my turn now - so new question:

- I was born on one continent.
- I won an international amateur tournament on another continent.
- I made my pro debut on a 3rd continent.
- I became world champion on a 4th continent.
- I lost my world crown on a 5th continent.

Who am I?

Hm, my first thought was Lionel Rose but I don't think it quite fits.

Which fighter won a world title on a DQ and defended it by DQ, before losing by TKO all against the same fighter?

I have no idea, what this means... but I guess, it must be some kind of wordplay??

Luis Santana (v. Terry Norris).

In my second fight I beat a guy that beat Holyfield.

In my sixth fight I beat a guy that beat Earnie Shavers.

Eveytime I fought a brit, I lost.

I fought three former WBA heavyweight champions and beat them all.

I have one of the fastest knock outs in history.

No it's not a trick question, he was noted as being Shark-Proof! An actual Shark!

I come back after I come home from church to see if anyone got it, if not I will give a few hints.
