Boxing ABC

A silly idea to pass some time, I came up with the idea whilst driving into work this morning.

Let's see who can get the furthest along the alphabet using the initial of the surname of fighters who have beaten fighters with the initial that follows the first initial alphabetically.

For example :

Muhammad Ali beat Joe Bugner, who beat Henry Cooper, who beat Jefferson Davis.

You (hopefully) get the idea.

First to 'Z' wins...

Where's my t-shirt?

by Scottrf Thu 8 Sep - 9:47

Next to impossible btw. You should win ban immunity for a month.

by **Union Cane** Thu 8 Sep - 9:48

I already have ban immunity.

I am Union Cane.

Union, my friend, I would suggest you concentrate on the road in future. I would hate for you to have an accident whilst dreaming up guff like this.

by **Union Cane** Thu 8 Sep - 9:53

I was watching Joe Frazier v Jerry Quarry last night, I thought that there aren't many boxers who's names begin with Q, that must be what planted the seed.

Watched Frazier v Jimmy Ellis as well, he has very long legs. Might be an idea for next week : "Reverse Linear Longest Legs" or something similar.

Not really interested in who or what planted it's seed in you Union, just more concerned that you are a danger to yourself and other drivers.

I watched a film about Aliens called the Fourth Kind. Scared the bejesus out of me. None of them boxed though.

I'll pass on this one...

100 views already, who reads this rubbish?

He wins the prize then.

It's a Team Khan t-shirt.

It was Bob Foster who had the long legs, not Ellis. Surprised nobody picked up on that.

by ChelskiFanski Thu 8 Sep - 10:42

Just wasted a good half-hour on box rec. I don't think it can be done - search for boxers with surnames starting with 'x' and you run out of links pretty quickly.

Saying that:

Abe Atell

Knockout Brown Brown won the "newspaper decision." Attell blamed this surprise loss to an overdose injection of cocaine into his hurting thumb. March 4 Tacoma News Tribune.

Paddy Callahan When the referee declared that Callahan had hit Brown too low and ordered him to his corner, Callahan turned on the referee and the two swapped punches until three policemen, who were in the club, forcibly carried Callahan from the ring. Callahan had been fouling throughout the bout.

Napoleon Dufresne Dufresne dislocated his shoulder -- his third such loss in a year. North Adams Transcript. Dufresne forced to retire because of the injury -- he then opens a poultry farm in Lewiston.

Pinky Evans

Got up to 'E' that time, and learned some interesting things along the way.

Poor effort. Where are the drugs? The policemen? The poultry farm?

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 8 Sep - 11:57

Let me offer you a truce Union.....I am honestly interested in your opinions on my Jack Johnson thread....Honestly....

Feel free to make a contribution....To show my good faith....

One of the Sky channels Seany, can't remember which one but it will be on again. Watched it when the wife and kids were in bed. What a mistake that was, I couldn't move from the sofa I was so scared. Closed all the curtains and checked the back garden before I went to bed but then lay there for about 30 minutes trying to plot an escape route for the family.

I must reiterate the point that there is no boxing action in the film, and that no aliens were hurt in it's production.

Can't believe what TRUSS just said about Union's mother.

I'm staying away from your threads, please return the favour.

To be fair Scott, I had heard something similar.

Honestly Mate it'll be no problem if this is what I'll be missing..

Feel free to post on mine though....see you kid! Wink

Henry Armstrong beat
Mike Belloise who beat
Tommy Ciarlo who lost to
Artie Diamond who beat
Eddie Edwards who lost to
Joey Fernandez who lost to
Mel Goldsmith who lost to
Gordon Hunt..... best I got sooo far.

Ok I kinda cheated with using people they lost to but surely a good effort none the less.

That's the kind of sideways thinking that I'm after.

Great work.

If he did say it, I wouldn't see it.

You went all the way to 'C', which isn't all the way at all. Silly man.

Temporarily locked ( nothing wrong with the thread ) while I write an important message.

by **HumanWindmill** Thu 8 Sep - 13:58

Have just received a very disturbing PM from Truss.

He says that somebody has hacked into his account and has attacked Union in his name. Truss swears that he isn't responsible.

Here's the good news :

I'm too thick to know how to deal with things like hacking.

Here's the bad news :

We have at least two admin members whose knowledge of IT matters is absolutely exhaustive and I'm going to refer this to them immediately.

Trust me when I say that if they find the culprit his account will be banned immediately and permanently.

Thread is now unlocked.

by Scottrf Thu 8 Sep - 14:03

Oops

No one hacked him, I was trying to be amusing and quoted a post he didn't write, because Union has him on block.

by **HumanWindmill** Thu 8 Sep - 14:04

Thank Heavens for that.

Thanks, Scott. I was sweating for a moment.

No harm done, mate.

by **Union Cane** Thu 8 Sep - 14:05

What about the harm done to me?

Revenge is a dish best served cold in my experience.

Not like Truss to go squealing to the mods...
