Presumably then, if D4's claims are accurate, Bournemouth's nickname is 'pound for pound legends and all-time greats at their absolute best and at the peak of their powers?' I never knew that.

Ok, here's a question to kick off the day.

Which boxer suffered a compound fracture of the arm whilst competing in an arm-wrestling match?

Nice, easy one to get the ball rolling eh, Union ?

Haven't a clue, mate.

They are all easy if you know the answers Windy!

If Chris doesn't know, my mission is accomplished.

I know Mickey Rourke broke his arm, arm wrestling

Not the one I'm after ghosty, good try though!

Would a clue help?

The guy he was arm-wrestling against was

Spoiler:

Should be easy now...

Looks like you've got your wish then, Union! Stumped on this one without cheating.

Union Cane wrote:Would a clue help?

In my case, only therapy or the answer could help. This was a real toughie, even given your earlier point that they're all easy if we know them.

By the way, fellas, I have an idea.

We lost the first few pages of this thread when we hit the twentieth. I'd suggest that, to avoid its happening again, we follow this one to the nineteenth page and then begin a NEW thread entitled ' Pass the parcel quiz 2.'

There's a lot of interesting information to be gleaned from these quizzes and it would be a shame to lose it all again.

We didn't lose it Windy, it just got locked and is on the second page:

That's good news, Scott.

A lot of good stuff in that thread. Thanks for letting me know.

Another clue then, in the film 'The Fly' after Jeff Goldblum has gene-spliced himself with the fly and becomes super-strong, he goes to a bar to pick up a girl and ends up arm wrestling a guy for $100 and the right to take his girl home, and he breaks the guys arm. Its the identity of that guy that I am after.

The greatest chin of all time

Chuvalo?

Yep, George Chuvalo.

Your turn ghosty...

Who holds the record for most world title fights?

Sugar Ray Robinson

Not Chavez?

I'm sure it's Chavez, with 37 I believe.

And?

Juan Laporte

Nope

Is this a trick question?

Is it Joe Cortez?

Jerry Roth?

Michael Buffer?

Jose Sulaiman

John Rawling & Duke McKenzie?

(He's gone John, he's gone)

Way way off

Larry Merchant

So its someone who is tied with JCC on 37?

Has Joe Louis had 10 more title fights in heaven?

Joe Tessitore & Teddy Atlas?

Andre the Giant?

Apollo Creed?

Jimmy Wilde?

Mary Kate Olsen?

Susan Boyle?

Tied on 37 indeed

Phil Taylor

There isn't any boxer on 37, be it male or female! 2nd's Lopez or something on 27

coxy0001 wrote:2nd's Lopez or something on 27

Yes, Louis.

You're both wrong, shall I give you the answer?

Give us a clue first...

Can't say I know of many stats in women's boxing, but I'd agree with the above that I can't see how anyone can equal Chavez's 37. To my knowledge, the nearest to him are the likes of Louis, Lopez, Norris, Holmes, Calzaghe, Gomez and so on, but I thought all of them were hovering in the twenties.

Go on then imperial

My money and car are on it being a trick question

Remember in the 1920's there was a big difference between a world title fight and a world title defence

Jack Britton?

If not Britton, then Johnny Kilbane perhaps?

Jack Britton was the name I was after

Thank the good Lord that one's been answered! Can't beat a bit of quiz controversy, eh Ghosty?

Which promoter put on more world title fights than any other between the years of 1990 and 1993?

Don King?

Nope, not King. Ol' Don was actually rebuilding during the early nineties, the guy I'm after put on nearly twice as many world title bouts as King did during that same period.
