Cool little game I came across. Just type the name in the box (only the last name needed), and it will place it accordingly.

I got 103 out of 113.

Damn IBO and EBU champs screwed me up. :witzend: :lol:

Also, they spelled Lyakhovich's name wrong on there. That kept screwing me up. I even looked it up on boxrec and cut and pasted it, and it still wouldn't work.

That was fun. I "got" 104, but I went to the current Ring for spellings of Ibragimov, Valuev (!), and Chagaev. Did okay until the mid 90's, except I couldn't think of Savold. Was trying to type in Woodcock. Still, I forgot about Roy Jones, Sam Peter, and Bruce Seldon. And I didn't know about Nicholson.

LOL, I kept doing the same thing.

Believe it or not, I forgot about Frank Bruno, although by that time I was already frazzled by the ones I knew I couldn't get.

108 Lyakhovich messed me up because it was mispelled... also a few of the IBO champs. I was proud of myself for knowing Lee Savold though. I got all of the ones that mattered. I thought it had to be in order at first, lost some time on that.
