A new game - Boxing Survey

Well I saw another poster do this on another thread - and it seemed comical so I did the same.

He asked his missus to name some boxers. She said Tyson and Ali. Thats pretty standard. I asked my 26 year old irish Girlfriend and she named the following, in order.

1) Tyson
2) Muhammad Ali
3) Tyson Fury
4) Micky Ward (we've watched The Fighter together)
5) "that guy beginning with K" (doesn't know there are 2 brothers)
6) Ricky Hatton
7) That guy with the dreads (David Haye)
8) That guy you seemed scared of (Nigel Benn - went to a charity do with him there)
9) The camp guy with the cane (Chris Eubank)

So the game is, ask your significant other. Be honest, theres no prizes here, I'm quite shocked my missus didn't name Lennox Lewis considering that I've barely shut up about having a chat with him at the Olympics! No Floyd, no Pacquiao....shame.

If you don't have a significant other....I dunno...ask your mum or sister....or someone who you doubt knows a lot.

The missus is bed but I'll ask tomorrow...

Ali
Tyson
Khan
Ricky Hatton
Bruno
Pac
Randall Munroe
Tyson Fury

Pretty standard I guess. All the most famous ex boxers with a couple of the current crop.

Munroe? Bloody hell thats an obscure one for someone to come up with lol.

I've subjected her to a few fight nights when he has been on. Remembered him because he was a bin man with a gold tooth.

Ali
Khan
Foreman - owing to the grill

Eubank

I don't think that excuse willl wash with her

I don't have a girlfriend but my mum once saw me watching one of the klitschko's and asked "Is that Ameeeer Khan?!"

i quote "i dont f*cking know", bearing in mind theres a picture of ali on our living room wall thats pretty bad. im not suprised, our lass cant tell the difference between boxing and ufc, she asks me why their kicking all the time

1) Holyfield
2) Audley Harrison
3)Sugar Ray Leonard
4) Lennox
5) Carl Froch
6) Tyson Fury
7) Floyd Mayweather
8) Boxing Bin Man - Rendall Munroe

Olga and Inga

1) Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko (they are both Russian)
2) Tyson
3) Haye (because he fought Wlad)
4) Ivan from Rocky 4
5) Rocky
6) Girov.

They do not know much about boxing which is a shame but they do know how to.....

You all need to get better wives or girlfriends, TSMR could name 100s

Thats because her only alternative to reading boxrec is to talk to you.

Fair point mate.

I'm sorry - It seems harsh now that you've turned the other cheek. I was expecting a crisp comeback with Tino popping out to abuse you further and coxy claiming to be felix baumgartner

Water off a duck's back shah, funnily enough have just asked her if she could name 10 heavyweight champions, she did it easily.

How many fights have you taken her to?

Loads mate, goes to pretty much every fight I've been to, you know you've found a good woman when she'll sit through a Johnny Nelson points fight live

That would explain it. The rest of us tell the wives to stay at home and have breakfast ready by teatime on the next day

Frank Bruno
Mike Tyson
David Haye
David Price
Rendall Munroe
Tyson Fury
Joe Calzaghe

Funny you say that as I'm now in preparation to break his record, won't be wearing a spacesuit for added drama and will be aiming for a pile of cardboard boxes and do away with the parachute to boot.

It can't be for his looks, eddy. He's got metal teeth and a lazy eye. Decent 6 pack tho, maybe that's it.
