Pass the Parcel Quiz.

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?

Nope, Carpentier isn't the one.

James Toney?

Young Stribling, ??

James Toney ?

Good work, bellchees. Toney was 157 lb when he fought Nunn in 1991, and 233 lb when he fought Ruiz in 2005. Over to you.

Would add i've just checked Hernandez and Castillejos records and nothing on there mentions a lineal title aka the ring magazine title or am I missing something?

Sam Langford?

That's where I got it from Windy; was reading the article this morning and it gave me the idea for the question.

OK which Middleweight knocked out a referee and received a lifetime ban which was only upheld for 15 months?

Well, the linear titles don't really exist since so many boxers have retired with the title, or moved divisions.
Castillejo from Mullings, from Norris.
Hernandez depends what you do after Sweet Pea moved up.

It was Ghosty who was incredulous, sam.

You know me - I never argue

I give you exhibit A

Ghosty, it was a bit of fun mate.

I don't think anyone else cares to be honest.

At the end of the day, the linear champ is just one guys opinion now, the lineage is broken is probably every division.

Not that guy. I wasn't sure how known the incident was I just stumbled across it recently.

Not having a go just saying

No eyed ear then

He fought Dick Tiger and Carmen Basilio

Fuller fought those two.

Very similar name.

Gene Fullmer

OK I'm off so I'll give it to you it's German psychopath Peter Muller. Here's a link to the incident which is quite funny

Laters guys.

It's Boris Becker and I claim my five pounds.

Predictive writing on phone changed it, can pretend from Muller not Fullmer!

What do Tunney, Bowe and Marciano have in common that no other retired Heavyweight Champions do?

That guy is Bobby Frankham but no idea what the answer to the question is!

Not only did they eventually beat every man they ever faced, they also had a winning head to head record against them.

Na, Tunney didn't beat Tommy Gavigan.

I'm a wee bit stumped Scott, and am off now anyway fella. Cheers.

They never got knocked out?

That's the one Ghosty, stopped.

Bowe, tunney & marciano - all hw champs that retired never being stopped or ko'd? (unless I'm missing someone really obvious!)

Can't see that record being equalled again any time soon

Mike Tyson fought the sons of 3 former world title contenders, who are they?

Marvis Frazier, Buster Mathis Jr and...erm...

I know Douglas' dad was a professional too, is that it?

Indeed it was douglas, had to word that question carefully hence the contender not challenger

Cheers Ghosty, sadly I really need to be hading off out now, so someone else is gonna have to pick up the parcel for now!

Cheers lads.

Which pro has more wins than any other?

and it's not Pepp.

Isn't this an impossible question to answer because of the No Decision era where the name your looking for most probably fought?

Regardless of that i'll say Young Stribling?

OK then, not including the era ND era seen as the answer doesn't have any no decisions.

Not Young Stribling

I can't think of too many boxers with over 200 career wins so i'm completely stumped now

Len Wickwar?

I hope I get the chance to pose a question today; cos I have an absolutely evil one for you guys!

Well, I know Wickwar has the most fights, and checking his record he has a much higher win % than I expected, so it must be him surely? Doesn't look like John Wayne is about.

yep Wickwar, sorry Pilgrims I was AWOL

Good answer Scott,

I wonder whilst your busy i'd quick pinch a turn as a found this question.

I was a very busy bee I fought an almighty 9 times in one month alone and I was as tough as hell ??

Who Am I


Cheers

Rodders

Greb?

I'd say perhaps Walker? but I suspect there is a clue to the correct answer in the phrase busy bee...?
