First topic message reminder :

Answer a question - Ask the next one.

Lets see if it catches on.

To start: Heavyweight journeyman Jesse Fergusson has fought 11 past/future World Champions and lost to 10 of them, which did he not lose to?

I think there must be more than three; we've come up with four already.

Sugar Ray Leonard has to be another as he won them simultaneously.

To have simulataneously 'held' titles they must be won and defended. In the other cases given one title had to be immediately reliquinshed believe it or not.

Tony Canzoneri ?? Sure he fought for some unofficial light welterweight crown of some sort??

Cheers

Rodders

Canzoneri is number 2
Number 3 is the same era

Jimmy McLarnin ??

Rodders

Barney Ross, I believe he won both the Lightweight and Light-Welterweight titles from Canzoneri in one fight.

Yeah, thats the fella I was thinking Chris.

Barney Ross

Rodders

Are we talking lineal titles here?

Thats all 3

Leonard reliquinshed the 175lb title immediately just like Whitaker did at the insistence of the WBC both times

If nobody has any objections, allow me to go on.

Who was Puerto Rico's first ever world champion?

Sixto Escobar.

Good work Scott, run with it!

Also the first to have a stadium named after him I believe.

Name either of the final two boxers to feature in a scheduled fight to the finish.

Sixto Escobar?

Was it Sullivan and Kilrain scott or was there one after at a lower weight?

Something tells me that ol' Ruby Robert was one of the participants, although I'm not sure who against. How's my aim?

Yours may be the final title fight Jeff, but isn't what I'm looking for, and incorrect Chris.

Wasn't convinced but it was worth a punt.

Scott, James Figg, Daniel Mendoza or Tom Molineaux at all.


Cheers Rodders

Fair bit later than them boys Rodders, firmly in the gloved era.

John Gully?

I believe Sam Langford was one of the participants, though I haven't a clue as to his opponent.

Dave's favourite Peter Jackson wasnt involved was he??

Cheers

Rodders

I'd be tempted to say Nelson and Gans

Well done Windy.

Sam Langford vs Jim Savage. Perhaps optimistically made to the finish, lasted just over a minute.

Sounds familiar....

Cheers, Scott.

I couldn't think of the other guy, and would never have gotten it without cheating, but I was pretty sure that Sam won the Mexican heavyweight title in this fight.

You seem to be on a roll with good questions and I can't really come up with anything suitable for the moment, so why don't you give us another one ?

I was thinking the same thing, Union.

It reminded me of the happy times I enjoyed during my first marriage.

I'll have a pop if Windy doesnt mind, because I'll not get a chance otherwise

I once made short work of a world champion
and in my very next fight I ko'd his brother too.

Who am I?

Cheers

Rodders

Ha ha, Windy you old dog. Will have to stay clear of any such conversation, as my girlfriend has got herself a 606v2 account!

Joe Louis; Max and Buddy Baer?

Good shout, I had my mind focused on the Galaxy twins.

Oops !

Tell her it was all my fault, Chris.

I always say that my first wife and I married each other so that we would only make two people miserable instead of four.

Good shout Lads

But the fella in question Ko'd both in consecutive fights

Rodders

Something keeps saying the Sullivan brothers?

Those are the boys Imperial well done,

Now who flattened them both consecutively, hard work is done

Spot on Windy, well done.

Thanks
Rodders

Of course Ketchel, I even brought that up myself recently

Stanley Ketchel?

I give up. This is really annoying me now. Always a second too late!

I was thinking of the McKenzies, I should have known better really...

Interesting one that was in BM, and was posted over on 606 the other day. All 7 Alvarez's featured on the same show, 4 wins, 3 losses.

Give us a question then Sam

Thanks, Rodders.

Bit of a gimme, because I'm a huge admirer of Ketchel, though I wouldn't have come up with the Sullivan boys in a hurry, I must say.

Who beat 4 sometime World Champions during 1995?

Ketchel is the bar room brawler that got rolled like a drunk against Johnson right?
