That's a very good answer but it's not the right one. Maybe I phrased it wrong so let me give it another shot:bennie wrote:Jose "Mantequilla" NapolesBroncano wrote:Who was the first black mexican champion?

Bloody hell. Good question. I'm guessing it would be a Cuban exile, but maybe that's putting me completely on the wrong track. How about Jose Legra?Broncano wrote:That's a very good answer but it's not the right one.

Well you are right in that he wasnt born in Mexico. But think heavyweights.

Did Black Bill ever fight in Mexico?

I just did a search on his record and no he didn't get anywhere close to Mexico. But your guess was close.

Last clue: He was born in Canada.

Just as I saw your post the result from World Cup Qualifier came along: Chile beat Peru 2-1, which is probably as irrelevant as this trivia question. So it was a good way to end it, Jaclem.
By the way, the answer is Sam Langford (KO 1 over Jim Savage in 1923)

But if he was born in Canada, wouldn't he be Canadian and not Mexican?

Damn! I was going to say Chalkey Wright

Would it be George Dixon. (Oops! You already gave us the answer).

It involved a black boxer vs. a white boxer but Johnson-Willard is not the correct answer
