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 Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 4:55 pm

No it's not Michael Moorer

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 4:59 pm

You are of course correct Windy, thought that one would take a bit longer to be honest

by **Union Cane** Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:01 pm

Ah, left-handed, not southpaw. I see what you did there.

Cheers, Ghosty.

Ok, easy one.

The first champion of African extraction ?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:11 pm

George Dixon?

Joe Gans?

by **Union Cane** Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:13 pm

Joe Gans

Argh, too slow. Again.

by **HumanWindmill** Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:16 pm

Close, Union, but Ghosty nailed it with Dixon.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:17 pm

I've been researching Dixon extensively for the past couple of weeks now

Who succeeded Marvin Hagler as undisputed Middleweight champion?

by Scottrf Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:20 pm

Leonard succeeded him in a linear sense, Hopkins was next to unify the belts?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:21 pm

You tell me the answer Scotty?

by **HumanWindmill** Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:21 pm

Not counting Leonard, I'd have gone for Michael Nunn, but not with a great deal of confidence.

It isn't Leonard, if memory serves, one of the major organisations wouldn't sanction the bout? I'd have to go with Hopkins

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:25 pm

It is indeed Hopkins, not sure but by the strictest definition I think Hopkins is the only undisputed champion in the four belt era

Hagler was in fact stripped by both the IBF and WBA before the Leonard bout

by Scottrf Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:27 pm

Taylor too? Politics if not.

I'm actually pretty sure Hopkins is the only fighter to have held all four major belts in the four belt era (WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF) at any one time... Could be wrong though.

by Gentleman01 Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:30 pm

Last one before I go, I'm sure this will be any easy one for you all.

Who was the first Jewish world champion in the gloved era?

Abe Attel.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:33 pm

Of course completely forgot about Taylor

Spot on Windmill!

Have a nice evening all.

by Gentleman01 Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:37 pm

I didn't think Taylor ever became the full WBA champion. Wasn't he 'WBA Champion Emeritius' or something equally daft?

Okay, nasty one. In 1887 ' Nonpareil ' Jack Dempsey beat Johnny Reagan over 45 rounds. What strange occurrence makes this fight ( probably ) unique ?

Sorry I couldn't leave this one as I think I may know it... Didn't this fight occur on a beach, whereby after the fight extended for such a period that the tide came up and the ring had to be moved?

Very well done, Gentleman !

I thought that that might have been a tricky one, but congrats to you.

by Gentleman01 Fri 25 Feb 2011, 5:43 pm

Thank you Windmill, undoubtedly that irregular occurence is unique.

Now I really am going...

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:35 pm

Who was the referee for Ali vs Liston 2?

by **88Chris05** Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:37 pm

Jersey Joe Walcott.

Who was the youngest ever man to win the Welterweight title, or a version of it?

by **Union Cane** Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:38 pm

Joe Louis?

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:39 pm

Gonna take a stab at Wilfred Benitez, Chris.

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:40 pm

Hold on, I'm wrong, it's Felix Trinidad!

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:41 pm

Benitez was almost my guess, but I think it's Pipino Cuevas. Benitez will be LWW though, and I think overall?

by **88Chris05** Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:41 pm

Scott has got it with Cuevas. Back over to you, Scotty boy!

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:43 pm

I'm really sure it's Felix Trinidad!

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:45 pm

Fair one; looks like Cuevas was 19! Blimey, that is young!

by **Union Cane** Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:46 pm

Tito was 20, Cuevas (which sounds suspiciously like "huevas", the Spanish word for b*ll*cks) was 18.

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:47 pm

Old one:

What was the cause of the conclusion of the first bout between William 'The Tipton Slasher' Perry and Charles Freeman?

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:47 pm

Yep, just looked it up. 18 and a world champion. Mental.

Benitez was 17! Crazy. Both incredible talents to win titles at those ages.

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:49 pm

Saul Alvarez will surely become one of, if not the, youngest LMW champion(s).

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:50 pm

Didn't Perry get DQd for lying down and refusing to get up?

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:50 pm

Eg, going down without being hit and refusing to rise?

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:52 pm

Saul Alvaraz's title will be as hollow as the inside of a Derby fan's head.

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:52 pm

That was the rematch, but good attempt!

by **Union Cane** Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:53 pm

That was Perry v. Freeman II, samevans1.

by samevans1 Mon 28 Feb 2011, 4:55 pm

Ah, well the other one they drew over 70 rounds. Although I don't know what the details of the ending were.

by Imperial Ghosty Mon 28 Feb 2011, 6:19 pm

Didn't it get too dark to continue?

by Scottrf Mon 28 Feb 2011, 6:21 pm

There we are, congrats.

Who succeeded Roberto Duran for the most consecutive knockouts in title fights?

Hazard a guess at Julio Cesar Chavez, Imperial.

by **88Chris05** Tue 01 Mar 2011, 10:41 am

Wilfredo Gomez, I reckon.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 01 Mar 2011, 10:52 am

Chris is spot on with Gomez, assuming his record of 17 still stands
