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?

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:35 pm

Julian Jackson?

by **Union Cane** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:35 pm

Calzaghe?

(He must be Italian, with a name like that)

Which world champion made twelve consecutive defences of a world title, but with none of those defences coming in his home country?

I'd guess it's Tommy Burns, Chris.

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:36 pm

Good work for comedic effect there, Union! Nobody has cracked it yet, keep plugging away.

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:37 pm

Did Ricardo Lopez fight in Mexico or was he based in America?

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:37 pm

Windy, Burns would be a close second to the name I'm after with regards to this particular record, but his eleven successful defences all away from home fall just a little short of our mystery fighter's twelve. Great attempt, though.

Bob Fitzsimmons?

by **Union Cane** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:39 pm

Chris Eubank

He's Jamaican. (Honest!?!)

by zx1234 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:40 pm

darius michalcweski (cant spell it )

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:40 pm

Nope, not Fitzsimmons.

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:41 pm

Ike Quartey.

by Scottrf Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:42 pm

Looking him up, he has 23.

by **HumanWindmill** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:42 pm

How about Emile Griffith then, Chris, albeit shared among two weight divisions ?

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:42 pm

Mike McCallum?

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:43 pm

Another good shout Sam, but not the right one.

ZX1234, as Michalczewski was considered Polish-German and took out German citizenship, I can't class all of his defences as being away from home, but a good shout all the same.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:44 pm

My answer to everything- George Dixon

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:45 pm

Griffith isn't the name I'm after, Windy. I'll clarify; the fighter in question made twelve consecutive successful defences of his crown, all within one single reign, and this was in one single division.

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:45 pm

This is driving me nuts

by The Galveston Giant Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:46 pm

Johnny Nelson

by **Union Cane** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:46 pm

Where was he from Chris?

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:47 pm

Can imagine Freddie Welsh wasn't far off that with the ND era

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:48 pm

Alexis Arguello.

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:48 pm

Ghosty, I don't count 'No Decision' bouts as title defences personally, but either way he's not the one I'm after.

I'll cave in to Union's question regarding his nationality, and I reckon it will come to a couple of you as soon as you read it; he was South African.

by Scottrf Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:49 pm

Brian Mitchell?

by zx1234 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:49 pm

Brian Mitchell?

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:50 pm

And it's Scott by a nose! Mitchell was indeed the answer I was after. Twelve defences of his Super-Featherweight title but none in his homeland due to their apartheid policy.

Over to Scott.

by The Galveston Giant Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:51 pm

can't see anybody's posts now

by **HumanWindmill** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:53 pm

Congrats, Scott, and thanks. You just spared my brain ( such as it is, ) a catastrophic meltdown.

Who said that?

8)

by Scottrf Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:53 pm

Easier one then.

What was the main event on the card in which Joe Calzaghe made his debut?

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:54 pm

Bruno-Lewis.

Someone else ask a question though!

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:55 pm

Lewis vs Bruno?

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:56 pm

Can anyone name the Japanese boxer who has held a belt in the highest weight division, and name the weight division.

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 4:58 pm

Lewis-Bruno.

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:00 pm

Guts Ishimatsu

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:00 pm

Bellchees, I'm sure I'll be totally wrong, but at the moment I honestly can't think of a Japanese world champion at a weight any higher than Lightweight; Guts Ishimatsu.

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:01 pm

Lightweight

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:01 pm

wrong weight and boxer

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:02 pm

If it's right, I'm having that one!

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:05 pm

Masashi Kudo, light middleweight.

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:07 pm

Nope, not Masashi Kudo

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:12 pm

Tadashi Mihara, also a light middleweight.

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:13 pm

Nope not him either

by **Union Cane** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:13 pm

Kendo Nagasaki?

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:15 pm

It depends what you call a world champion; there was a WBF Cruiserweight champion from Japan some years ago; but surely that doesn't count as a real world title?

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:17 pm

Ah Shinji Takehara; lost his belt to William Joppy?

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:18 pm

Union Cane wrote:Kendo Nagasaki?

Wasn't he a wrestler?

by bellchees Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:19 pm

Correct with Shinji Takehara at Middleweight

by samevans1 Tue 01 Mar 2011, 5:30 pm

I unsuccessfully challenged for the WBA light welterweight title twice; despite flooring the champions twice in both fights.

Who am I?
