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 **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:49 am

Nope, Carpentier isn't the one.

by bellchees Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:50 am

James Toney?

by Jimmy Stuart Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:50 am

Young Stribling, ??

James Toney ?

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:53 am

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.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:54 am

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?

by samevans1 Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:54 am

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.

by bellchees Fri Mar 04, 2011 3:57 am

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:00 am

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 Very Happy

by samevans1 Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:05 am

Ghosty, it was a bit of fun mate.

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:05 am

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.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:08 am

Not having a go just saying

by John Bloody Wayne Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:09 am

No eyed ear then

by bellchees Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:17 am

He fought Dick Tiger and Carmen Basilio

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:23 am

Fuller fought those two.

by bellchees Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:30 am

Very similar name.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:36 am

Gene Fullmer

by bellchees Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:37 am

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhBbIiMZ9b8

Laters guys.

by Guest Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:38 am

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:40 am

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!

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 4:42 am

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:02 am

Na, Tunney didn't beat Tommy Gavigan.

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:05 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:06 am

They never got knocked out?

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:08 am

That's the one Ghosty, stopped.

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:14 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:18 am

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?

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:19 am

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

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:22 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:25 am

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

by **88Chris05** Fri Mar 04, 2011 5:27 am

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.

by John Bloody Wayne Fri Mar 04, 2011 9:20 am

Which pro has more wins than any other?

and it's not Pepp.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 10:57 am

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?

by John Bloody Wayne Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:34 am

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

Not Young Stribling

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 04, 2011 11:48 am

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 04, 2011 8:55 pm

Len Wickwar?

by samevans1 Sat Mar 05, 2011 12:56 am

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

by Scottrf Sat Mar 05, 2011 12:57 am

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.

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Mar 05, 2011 1:54 am

yep Wickwar, sorry Pilgrims I was AWOL

by Rodney Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:13 am

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

by John Bloody Wayne Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:14 am

Greb?

by Gentleman01 Sat Mar 05, 2011 2:17 am

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