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?

Not the answer I was looking for.

In that case I haven't got a clue

saoul mamby?

Nope, good guesses though lads.

A clue maybe?

Okay. One of the title challenges ended in a draw, the other in a points defeat.

Should be WBA WElterweight title; I am sorry!

Not got a clue im afraid

was he a beltholder at any weight?

Joes Luis Lopez, took me long enough

That is correct Ghosty! Over to you!

I'll pass on posting a new question as I did have to research the answer

I'l see if I can put this article back in motion,

I had my first fight, before my son was born and I had my last fight after he retired (from his own pro career).

Who am I?

Cheers

Spot on Jimmy well done, thought it may have lasted a good few comments that one.

Rodders

Morning, Rodders and Jimmy,

I took one look at that question and thought I'd be in for a long and frustrating exercise for the old grey cells.

Thank Heavens that Jimmy was one step ahead. Hats off for the question and hats off to Jimmy for solving it so quickly.

Nice one Rodders, I thought it would take a few more posts to get that one as well. I'm waiting to see what Jimmy comes up with now, I reckon this article will be getting the odd bump back up to the top of the page for a long, long time to come!

Morning Windy

Rodders, Windy to be fair only reason I got it so quickly I read the interesting trivia somewhere over the past few months, so I was aided in that way, didn't have to waste the very of the brain cells I have left.. But thanks and hats off for the question, I was originally thinking Tommy Hearns for some reason but I believe his son is still fighting.

I'll have a rattle around to see If I can find a good trivia question to continue, in the mean time if you fellas have anymore. Thanks

Yeah I thought it would suit the bump format.

My guess would have been Duran, but his son finished a few years after.

Morning, Jimmy.

Funnily enough, Hearns was the first one I thought of. I also ran through a few other suspects, including Buster Mathis and his son, and I was beginning to fear the worst.

Your timely intervention was most welcome.

Right, I've got one just while we're waiting for Jimmy. I've formulated this one myself, so apologies if I've missed another obvious example, but I can only think of one answer thus far.

Who is the only boxer in history to be disqualified in two consecutive world title fights?

Terry Norris, ?

Wow Jimmy, you're in great form today! Norris is the answer I was looking for, nice one.

Good work Jimmy, couldn't get Golota out of my head, but on thinking about it a bit more don't think they were title fights.

Morning, jeff.

I was thinking about Marcel Thil, but as I thought about it I remembered that he had WON two consecutive title fights by DQ.

Sorry lads, as Windy's post has just pointed out, Lou Brouillard would have been a correct answer for that, too. Christ, I feel like a right prat now! Quality work all the same though, Jimmy. Will try to redeem myself when the next question is posted.

Question saved as Jimmy asked one.

Ha cheers Chris, Jeff.. Cant quite believe I got that myself, must be my lucky day.


How about this one, apologies if its been on the thread already (which is a great Idea by the way Scott so hats off)

I flattened both Father and son in my successful career, who am I ?

I hadn't realized that both his DQ wins were over Brouillard, Chris.

We live and learn.

I believe that this is Jersey Joe Walcott, Jimmy, but if it is I'm blowed if I can remember who the fighters were, though I believe they fought out of Philly.

Apologies Scott, tremendous work on Lou Brouillard Windy & Walcott is bang on the money. He ko'd Harold Johnson and his father who I cant remember his first name for the life of me either.

Well done.

Thanks, Jimmy.

Joe Frazier won gold in the 1964 Olympics, but there is something of a twist in the tale.

What is it ?

He hadn't originally made the team, and only came in as a late replacement for the injured Buster Mathis.

Strewth, that was quick, Chris.

Very well done. Mathis beat Frazier in the trials but injured his hand and couldn't go.

Great work Chris.

He only went because Mathis dropped out due to breaking his thumb?

Well done, Sam.

Unfortunately, as you can see, Ol' Lightning Fingers beat you to it.

Ha ! Windy, since you're a moderator I think you should throw your weight around and get some us buzzers !!

Sigh. The misfortune of living where I do; v slow connection.

You still surely get a message showing the posts that have been made while you have been writing yours?

Jimmy, I'll have a word with the administrators about it straight away !

sam, think yourself lucky, mate. My slow connection exists between my ears.

Cheers, Windy. Sometimes an answer just comes to you in a flash, luckily for me that was one of them.

Which long-serving world champion of the seventies and the eighties became the first man to box world title bouts in St. Vincent and Papa New Guinea?

I don't bother gem, just post!

Eusebio Pedrosa.

Good work, Sam. Pedroza was the man I was after. A proper globe trotter; defences in Italy, England, Venezuela, St. Vincent, Papa New Guinea, Korea, Japan and America. Gave a new meaning to the term 'world champion.'

Over to you, mate.

Name the first 3 men to beat Yory Boy Campas.

Felix Trinidad took his zero, like he did with so many. Vargas, and can only think Oscar but that is probably too late.

Well done Sam, I was struggling there I really was.

I know Trinidad definitely did, how about Oba Carr or De La Hoya ??

Trinidad, Vargas and Carr? I know he lost to them for sure, couldn't tell you if they were his first three defeats though.

Someone has two out of three.
