But what is the other term (the old timers probably still use it i.e. Windy, Jimmy and Rowley!) for "boxing gloves"

I.e. What are they also called/have been called at some point in history?

Were known as mufflers at some point Coxy

by coxy0001 Tue 8 Mar - 16:51

Maybe shouldn't use repeat questions!

Anyway, time to scuttle home

by samevans1 Tue 8 Mar - 16:53

Were we right?

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 16:55

I'm pretty sure mufflers is what Coxy had in mind, Sam, so it's over to whoever got there with the right answer first.

A thousand replies on this article before the week is out, anyone?

by samevans1 Tue 8 Mar - 16:57

What happened at the conclusion of the fight between Richard Grant and James Butler in 2001?

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 16:57

On you go Sam

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 16:58

Did one of them crack the other after the fight and get put in jail

by samevans1 Tue 8 Mar - 17:01

Yep, Butler broke Grant's jaw and got put in jail for assault.

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 17:02

He also killed Kellerman's brother Shocked

Remember it Sam was a nasty one, i'll get another question out in a minute

The guy had some serious issues Scott

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 17:15

Bob Fitzsimmons and Tom Sharkey fought in San Francisco in 1896. Who was the famous referee for the fight?

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 17:16

Wyatt Earp

You got it Scott, loved Wyatt Earp but maybe one of the worst refs ever.

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 17:19

He was actually taken to court for that fight wasn't he? Jeff is still bitter.

He did Scott, caused a lot of controversy. Fitszimmons and his manager took him to court.

You're not wrong Scott, cheating toerag. Kurt Russell glossed over that in the film

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 17:27

Ok. Where was Willard vs Johnson held?

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:27

Cuba wasn't it?

Reno

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 17:29

Think Rowley got it Havana wasn't it?

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 17:30

Onto you Jeff. You're thinking of the Jeffries fight gg.

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:36

Which former world champion owned a mastiff dog called John L Sullivan?

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 17:38

Gerald Mclellan

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:39

Fraid not GG, you need to go way back and way more obscure. This is one to seriously test folks mettle.

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:42

Probably well off the mark here, Jeff, but I'll guess that it was Sullivan himself, knowing how much he loved himself.

This rings a bell for some reason Rowley, would it have been in the Sam Langford book.

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:43

Don't recall mate, is a few years before Langford, the fighter is from a similar era to Sullivan. I believe they were even drinking buddies

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:45

I'll go with Paddy Ryan in that case, Jeff. Pretty sure he and John L used to sup a few together.

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:46

Not Ryan Chris, is a guy me and you discussed before though.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 8 Mar - 17:47

Kilrain?

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:48

Frank Slavin?

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:49

No to Kilrain and Slavin. A lot smaller than either of those

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:50

Since I'm leaving work soon and will not leave you all in suspense he was credited in many circles with inventing the bolo punch, which should help Chris massively

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:51

Right, well it's Kid Gavilan then, or Ceferino Garcia!

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:52

Alas not Chris, Irish guy, unless I am going mad am sure we have discussed him on 606 before

by skidd1 Tue 8 Mar - 17:53

what about Jack kilrain?

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:53

Ike Weir, then?

by Rowley Tue 8 Mar - 17:54

Correct mate, right I can go home now.

Au revoir

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 17:55

Phew, that's a relief. Had to get that one for the sake of my sanity!

That said, I'm off now, so I'll leave it up to someone else to pick up the questioning.

Ta-ra fellas.

by Billy Shears Tue 8 Mar - 18:07

Youngest boxer in The Ring's top 10 rankings?

by The Galveston Giant Tue 8 Mar - 18:16

Sual Alvarez

by Billy Shears Tue 8 Mar - 18:30

Sorry, didn't say p4p, but nope not Saul.

by Imperial Ghosty Tue 8 Mar - 18:35

Lopez

by Billy Shears Tue 8 Mar - 18:45

Nope! If you've heard of him you'll know he's the youngest.

Hint: He's British

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 18:46

Are we talking the youngest ever here, or the youngest right now?

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 18:58

There's no British boxer in Ring's top 10 P4P and none younger than Saul in the divisional rankings. I can't see what you could be looking for here.

by **88Chris05** Tue 8 Mar - 19:02

Can only assume you mean youngest ever, so I'll say Naseem Hamed.

by Scottrf Tue 8 Mar - 19:07

Damn, technically I got it but sorta cheated because I searched his name so know I'm right. Would never have guessed he would be in a P4P list though. Have heard of him because a relative has been plugging a book about him recently.
