We're talking 1860/70's here

by Imperial Ghosty Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:50 pm

Even though i'm guessing your thinking of Flores

by coxy0001 Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:10 am

Kid Gavilian? God knows

Mike Tyson?!

by coxy0001 Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:13 am

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

by Scottrf Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:15 am

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?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:18 am

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?

by Scottrf Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:19 am

Lamar Clark?

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:20 am

1000th comment! No idea about the question tho.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:24 am

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?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:29 am

Your on the right lines with your train of thought

Its not Moore

by D4thincarnation Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:29 am

SRR or Armstrong then.

by D4thincarnation Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:30 am

If not them has to be Langford.

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:31 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:31 am

Way off the mark, think Valero and Brunston

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:39 am

Is it the guy who's record Valero beat?

by Sugar Boy Sweetie Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:41 am

Tyrone Brunson

by D4thincarnation Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:41 am

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

by coxy0001 Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:43 am

Paulie Malignaggi
Ivan Calderon

Winner

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:43 am

It may well be that guy

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:45 am

Arthur Susskind?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:46 am

In a manner of speaking your right, aka?

by D4thincarnation Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:46 am

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

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:47 am

Young Otto. Where do they get these names from?

Was that his real name or was it Arthur

by **HumanWindmill** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:50 am

I believe he had a grandfather called Old Coldo.

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:55 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:55 am

Over to you Union

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:57 am

Which Heavyweight Champion had the shortest reach?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:58 am

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

Think we should stop answering eachothers questions

by coxy0001 Fri Mar 18, 2011 12:58 am

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.

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:01 am

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...

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:09 am

Who was Argentinas first world champion?

by **Union Cane** Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:16 am

Carlos Monzon?

by **HumanWindmill** Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:17 am

imperialghosty wrote:Who was Argentinas first world champion?

Pascuel Perez I reckon, Ghosty.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:22 am

Perez indeed, very under rated fighter

by **HumanWindmill** Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:25 am

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 ?

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:29 am

Id take stab at Kid Lewis but no idea how many

Wickwar or Marsden must be worth a shout as well

by **HumanWindmill** Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:31 am

Blimey, that was quick, Ghosty.

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

Over to you.

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:36 am

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.

by Rowley Fri Mar 18, 2011 1:47 am

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

by Imperial Ghosty Fri Mar 18, 2011 3:03 am

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

by **HumanWindmill** Fri Mar 18, 2011 3:09 am

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

by **HumanWindmill** Sat Mar 19, 2011 12:53 am

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