Ha, close Windy but not quite, having a nightmare seeing updated comments at work, seems my little method failed me there, the last comment i can see was from about lunchtime.

Seems to be a common problem, mate. I believe it's a Firewall issue, but it's no good asking me. As our Union will tell you, ( cheeky sod that he is, ) my hi tech abilities extend only to the telegram.

How is Avetik Abrahamyan better known?

by Scottrf Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:31 pm

Surely Arthur Abraham

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:33 pm

Thats the one, not too tricky that one.

Over to you...

Who was born Joseph Louis Barrow Rolling Eyes

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:36 pm

Joe Louis??

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:36 pm

That slow, flat-footed plodder with the glass chin, I believe...Joe Louis?

by Scottrf Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:40 pm

Well done Union.

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:42 pm

I'm too quick for you Chris, too quick.

Which boxer has been awarded honorary citizenship of North Cyprus, a state whose existence is recognized only by Turkey?

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:42 pm

David Haye

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:47 pm

Yep, David Haye. Does that mean he's not British after all then?

Your turn rowley...

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:48 pm

Have asked this on 606 so more a test of memory than knowledge but who was the first heavyweight champion to hold a degree

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:48 pm

Tunney?

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:49 pm

Not Tunney UC, he considered going to Princeton but his boxing career was taking off so he never got round to it

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:51 pm

Didn't Bonecrusher Smith have a degree, Jeff?

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:52 pm

Chris is on fire yet again. Although as it was from Keele i'm not sure it was a proper one

by Imperial Ghosty Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:52 pm

James 'Bonecrusher' Smith

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:52 pm

Patterson?

Where's our colonial cousin when you need him? Wink

Which pound for pound legend married four women, three of them twice, taking his total count to seven marriages?

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 4:57 pm

Kid McCoy?

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:01 pm

Good effort, Union, but not quite right. McCoy was an, erm...shall we say 'character' and a half, though! 'Conned' Tommy Ryan out of his Middleweight title, involved in many fixed fights, did some acting on the side, married seven SEPARATE women and then murdered the last of them, before taking his own life.

And people call Mayweather 'controversial?'

by Imperial Ghosty Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:01 pm

Muhammad Ali?

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:02 pm

Nope, not Ali either, Ghosty. Nice effort.

by Scottrf Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:03 pm

Yeah think Ali had 4 but didn't remarry any.

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:05 pm

Going back some years and may be way off but is it Jem Mace, I read his biography and know he was married several times and married at least one wife a couple of times

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:07 pm

Have to be honest Jeff, I'm not sure how many times (and to how many women) Mace was married, but either way he's not the answer I'm looking for in this particular question. I'll drop in a clue - the name I'm after also became a widely-respected and showcased painter in his retirement.

Should be nice and easy now!

Rolf Harris?

I said that the answer was a pound for pound great, Union! As in top twenty. Harris, wonderful though he was, wasn't quite that great for me.

Totally agree everyone knows he ducked a PRIME Tony Hart

I wouldn't fight a man strong enough and fast enough to tie a kangaroo down, Sport.

It's a fair point Windy, makes Rocky catching chickens look pedestrian by comparison

Come off it Rowley, it was Hart who declined the Olympic-style random testing for performance-enhancing substances within the acrylic paint.

by **Union Cane** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:20 pm

I think we'd all agree that both Harris and Hart would wipe the floor with that scouse bloke off Art Attack.

Was it Tony Sisti?

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:20 pm

Typical Harris fanboy propaganda Chris why should Hart agree to any tests not in the official rules just because Harris says he should. Harris does not make the rules, he only asked for the tests because he knew Hart has a phobia about acrylic paint tests

Hart gave Harris the brush off.

Yes, because he knew that Harris would have put him on the canvas.

You need to look at the bigger picture.

by Rowley Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:26 pm

Hart would have handled Harris EASELy (sorry)

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:27 pm

Say what you like, Windy. But we all know the truth; Harris would have left Hart's face looking like a Picasso.

by **HumanWindmill** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:27 pm

By the way, Willie Pep was married a time or three, I believe. Wasn't him, was it ?

by **88Chris05** Wed 23 Mar 2011, 5:28 pm

And no Windy, Pep isn't the name I was looking for. Nice shout, though.
