Not really, but I admit that I have no answer to the Harold Sconiers question.

The 5 HWs Foreman fought in Toronto are Alonzo Johnson (who went the distance with Ali), Jerry Judge who went the distance with Holmes, Terry Daniels who had a title fight against Frazier, Charlie Polite who also fought Frazier and Foreman previously, and Boone Kirkman who last fought Foreman previously.
The lack of responses on a boxing website is mind boggling.

Didn't know the first two, knew the rest. Some I had to think about for a while, other I knew right away. Had never heard of Harold Sconiers.

I thought this trivia was challenging.
I had 3, 4, 5, and 7.
Thought I had 6, 8 and 10 but was wrong on all three.
Had no idea on the other 3.
Awesome trivia questions Tony1244
Good job.

You have to feel for Bobick on his way to the ring for his disastrous fight with Ken Norton at Madison Square Garden in 1977. Unbeaten in 38 fights, Bobick looks supremely confident as he nods and smiles at supporters. Bobick has Eddie Futch in his corner, a man who had previously trained Norton, and is managed by heavyweight great Joe Frazier. The bookies give him a chance at 2/1. Boxing News predicts a Bobick victory. A peak Norton wipes him out in under a minute and the great white hope simply never recovers.

Yes, his second KO loss was to a South African. Tate was his 3rd. Duane was a good puncher and was disciplined. He just couldn't take a punch at a certain level and his defense was almost nonexistent. Having said all that, he was arguably the #1 amateur in the world there for a while. Beat Holmes and Stevenson (Pan Am Games).
