80/113

Surprised that I managed to get so many, although I missed out some really obvious ones.

Really good quiz. Very embarrassed about a couple I missed, but some of those IBO, WBO ones are hard

Not bad I guess, great quiz.

Shockingly I couldn't remember Baer or Carnera's name! Felt the pressure I guess!

Couldn't spell Liakovich either.

82.

Remembered Francesco Damiani but somehow forgot Riddick Bowe and Max Schmeling :oops:

No way the likes of Jimmy Thunder or Danell Nicholson should ever feature on a list of 'heavyweight champs' in my eyes.

Then again, its a great game! :TU:

73 for me, I think I got most obvious ones but struggled on early 80's and some lesser known from waaaaaay back in the day

Cracking game, would love to do it for other divisions too :TU:

I got 79. Was let down by my inability to remember many names from the 80s through to mid 90s, embarrassingly enough. :oops:

What can I say? I was under pressure! :lol: :box:

79 - got the vast majority of historical ones but missed out on John Tate, Ernie Terrell and Sonny Liston! :oops: went pear shaped post Larry Holmes - a decent challenge for any boxing fan!

Just how do you spell Ingo's surname!!!!!

Brian Nielsen was probably my most obscure result!

71. Disappointing. Although a lot of the 10 minutes was spelt on Ingo's surname. Made a few howling misses.

I thought i worked well under pressure. There i was unable get the names with the clock counting. I was stuck muttering Night Train, Night Train for about 2 mins until i could pull Liston's real name out of my brain.

Fairly disappointing 80. Some of the most obvious i missed out Herbie Hide, Patterson & Schmeling :oops: :oo
