I am a Hall of Famer.
I never fought in the United States.
I retired as champion of my division.
I returned after slightly over a year off, had a tuneup, and lost a shot to regain my title back against another fighter who is in the Hall of Fame.
I had three more fights.
Two of those were lost title fights in the next-highest division, after which I retired.
"Title" equals world title.
Who am I?

Chang.

Correct.

Vicente Saldivar

EDIT:......oops missed the previous answer.

Here's one:

I had dozens of bouts and was world champion but in my last fight I took on a debutant.

(one thread will do!)

Archie Moore. Although there may be others

In one.

Saldivar had two lost title fights at feather, the same weight where he was champ.
He lost two fights after he came back to Shibata and Jofre. Shibata's not in the HOF.

I think BoxBuzz was at that fight. Moore pounded lumps on Mike Dibiasse who was a pro wrestler. Sounds gimmicky but its in the books.

Yeah it's crazy. I'm curious as to the background on it, it all sounds a little WWF.

It was a guess, i didn't go into his career before posting but thanks

I was more confused than usual.
