I'm ashamed to say I got brain block and only managed 62% even forgetting a former world champion i saw fight live

Fun quiz. I got 80% of 'em.

Can't believe I actually forgot a few from within my own time as a fan

I was typing in another in the last few seconds, but I misspelled the name and didn't have time to correct myself before I ran out of time. So I would've had a little better than 80% if I'd got that one in on time, but oh well

I like the way the quiz is set up where you can just type it in, and if you're correct it just automatically adds it to the board.

Most of the ones I didn't get I knew when I saw them, there were a few that I wouldn't have gotten no matter how much time they would've given me, but it was all guys that were never THE Champion. Just guys with a belt.

Good quiz (77%)

Nice

I got 71 out of 122. I couldn't spell some of them which didn't help.

I only got 70 but was doing it on a mobile and spent most of the time trying to spell the names correctly Reckon I would have done much better on a computer, can't believe some of the ones I didn't get around to.

*Spoilers*
Not happy about not getting Joe Walcott - apparently you have to put 'Jersey' in front of his name to get the point

65%

Tried Gentleman Jim corbett, james Corbett, jim Corbett, james Corbet , jim corbet still couldn't get it !!!

You can just put surnames in guys

I managed 81% before I ran out of time, but quite pleased with that.

77%. Quite pleased. Missed a few of the very early ones, struggled with the early 80s and missed a few I should have got from the 90s/00s. Don't know why it includes the IBO, the only IBO champs I got were Lennox, Rahman and Wlad.

84 out of 122. I missed some really easy ones too. I know barely any IBO champions.

That would've been slightly helpful I think, but I'm not sure if it would've made much difference for me except for on one of 'em.

Do they got any more of these quizzes for the other Weight classes in Boxing?

67%
Jimmy Thunder and others. Please.

I could''t spell the guy's name from Sweden who beat Patterson. I'll try again though. Johannsen?

Yeah some of those guys I knew of them I just never knew they had won a title. Jimmy's a prime example, and by the way. It's Johansson

Another good one...

The mobile phone and spelling issues scunnered me.

I got 81% on this one.

I filled in the entire years of 2001-2004 and 2016.

I misspelled one of the Thai fighters names so I didn't get that

72% didn't help (and I feel ashamed that I had this wrong) I though it was nelson azuma.

If I had another 10 mins I reckon I could have got 80% but I genuinely hadn't even heard of some of them.

90% (110 out of 122). Like a fool, I missed Marciano and Roy Jones, while getting the obscure ones.

Great quiz - thanks for posting. Are there quizzes for each division, out of interest?
