We're talking 1860/70's here

Even though i'm guessing your thinking of Flores

Kid Gavilian? God knows

Mike Tyson?!

Kid Chocolate? For some reason i've got someone called Kid associated with the bolo punch.

I might stick with Tyson though as in his 45second prime he must've done something amazing like that

Kid Galivan was the one you're thinking of, but I've heard other names too. I think perhaps he made it famous, someone else first used it.

Right you are, said to be the first to use it, no later than 1924.

Who was that?

I can't remember his name at the moment, was a previous question about him, will search through

Who holds the record for most first round knockouts?

Lamar Clark?

1000th comment! No idea about the question tho.

Not clark
And D4, Ike Weir was the name I was trying to think of

Didn't some guy beat Valero's record of consecutive first round KOs, Brunston or something like that.

Not sure about first round KOs in total, Moore is always a good bet?

Your on the right lines with your train of thought

Its not Moore

SRR or Armstrong then.

If not them has to be Langford.

Kid Azteca? He had a fair few KO1's on there...

Way off the mark, think Valero and Brunston

Is it the guy who's record Valero beat?

Tyrone Brunson

Was it the guy who Valero took the record of. Can't remember the name though, but it was a long standing record.

Paulie Malignaggi
Ivan Calderon

Winner

It may well be that guy

Arthur Susskind?

In a manner of speaking your right, aka?

Young Otto, but he did do a Brunson and get fed a load of stiffs, though not as bad as Tyrone

Young Otto. Where do they get these names from?

Union Cane wrote:Young Otto. Where do they get these names from?

Was that his real name or was it Arthur

Union Cane wrote:Young Otto. Where do they get these names from?

I believe he had a grandfather called Old Coldo.

He was born Arthur Susskind. Perhaps a bore a passing resemblance to von Bismarck...

Over to you Union

Which Heavyweight Champion had the shortest reach?

Rocky Marciano with 68 inches, coincidentally the great Featherweight Sandy Saddler would hold a reach advantage with 70 inches

Think we should stop answering eachothers questions

Union - WTF?!

Tommy Burns?

Tyson?

RJJ?!

God knows!

' Susskind, ' in German, is ' Sweetchild, ' so I guess we know why he changed his name. Could have been worse, though ; had he been called ' Sussbrot ' it would have translated as ' Sweetbread, ' and I'm sure his schooldays would have been quite lively if it had been so.

Ghosty's got it, it was Marciano.

Your turn to pick a fact from the web-page with the red writing that we've obviously both found...

Who was Argentinas first world champion?

Carlos Monzon?

imperialghosty wrote:Who was Argentinas first world champion?

Pascuel Perez I reckon, Ghosty.

Perez indeed, very under rated fighter

imperialghosty wrote:Perez indeed, very under rated fighter

So he is.

Which British fighter holds the record for the greatest number of OFFICIAL ( i.e. not counting exhibitions, ) bouts in a calendar year, and how many fights did he have to set the record ?

Id take stab at Kid Lewis but no idea how many

Wickwar or Marsden must be worth a shout as well

Blimey, that was quick, Ghosty.

Ted ' Kid ' Lewis it was. 58 bouts in 1911.

Over to you.

Was a complete and utter guess, knew he was hugely prolific in his early days

What links Sugar Ray Robinson and Barry Mcguigan?

Wildest of guesses.

Barney Eastwood once sparred with Sugar Ray.

They are both in the Hall of Fame, I'm on fire today

Nope it's not that, maybe I should include Mancini as well

Each of them had an opponent die in the ring.

Spot on

Coukld include Montiel in that list although technically they didn't die IN the ring but as a result of injuries sustained during the fight

Middleweight Al McCoy is the first ever southpaw world champion. What is odd about the manner of his winning the title ?
