No, The LeDoux one may be the toughest. I've gotten shite for making quizzes too easy, so I tried to make this a bit tougher.

LeDoux was not undefeated when he fought for Holmes' world title.
3 of the answers are quite obscure, and if someone wasn't a huge fan at that time, its going to be tough.

Correct, sir. The Patterson and Lyle victors were bigger names. The first guy to beat LeDoux, not so much. Jose Luis Garcia, I believe.
I hope people trying to remember the answers aren't reading this.

Yes it was, your clue that it was a bigger name gave it away for me.

1 - Marty Marshall won a decision Liston over 8 rounds breaking his jaw in the process.
2 - Patterson dropped a very controversial 8 round nod to former light heavy champ Maxim. It was the final victory of Maxim's career I believe.
3 - Jose Luis Garcia upset Norton via KO8.
4 - Jerry Quarry outboxed Lyle over 12 rounds in MSG.
5 - Veteran Roy "Cookie" Wallace stopped Ledoux on a cut eye between the first & second round. A cut that Ledoux later insisted was opened via a headbutt but the verdict stands.

How bad a cut could it have been? LeDoux decisioned Rodney Bobick the following month.
You don't see that happening today. A fighter stopped by a cut who fights the following month, not to mention winning.
