No.2 is def Gene Fullmer when he got knocked out by SRR

Is no.1 SRL?

Number 2 spot on..

1. I have that magazine somewhere. Curry?
3. Leon Spinks?
5. Camacho?

1 and 5 well done Haz...........Ko magazine in 85............Camacho said it to Bramble at the Hagler-hearns fight..

4. Frazier?

Earlier than him Mate...much earlier..

Jeffries or Corbett then?

Ill plump for Corbett (though is suspect i'm showing myself up as a boxing chav here )

Number 4 James Corbett I do believe! Nice little teasers Truss!

Corbett is right..well done guys..

enjoying this mate

Damn! Just pipped...i'll go for number 7 as Marvin Hagler

Number 7 is Marv...well done mate..

Thought number 3 was one of the easiest..

Is 6 Ray Mancini?

Definate Chav.

Plus most of those statements were made while I was still a toddler.

Will have a guess at the remaining outstanding ones, Truss....

# 3 - Floyd Patterson?
# 6 - Edwin Rosario?
# 8 - Mike Spinks?

I'll hazard a guess @ no.3 being Frazier after he lost to Foreman 1st time?

Is 8 Holmes?

8. Spinks..well done chris...

lightweight champ was very colorful and is late 80's

Heavyweight boxer was from the Louis era.

Max Baer for number three, Greg Haugen for number six?

Max Baer well done Mate..........

No it wasn't Haugen..he never made six million bucks..

Yeah, Haugen was a bit of a swing in the dark. Erm....

Jimmy Paul? Hilmer Kenty? Livingstone Bramble? Seriously struggling on this one!

He won several titles at other weights........

Must be Whitaker, then. One of my favourites but I'd never heard that quote until now!

No...You're missing a hugely charismatic guy from the late 80s.....

You'll kick yourself..

Sounds like camacho again

He fought Camacho !!!

Racking my brains to think of any other late eighties Lightweight champion who was colourful and also won titles at higher weights. I'd say Chavez but he must have raked in a lot more than $6 million.

Camacho was gone from 135 lb by the time the eighties were getting to an end, nd he's already been used for one of your answers. Can't be Ramirez or Nazario for obvious reasons.

Paez won a Lightweight title in the nineties and a Featherweight one the decade before that?

Fought Haugen too........

Vinny Paz

well done Milky.................Beat Haugen in Rhode Island in 87.........

That's it guys...well done!

... Was the next clue going to be his first name is vinny and his second begins with p? Ho hum we got there in the end.

You're definitely a connoisseur Milky.....

Of what I don't know..but you definitely are !!

Haven't worked out what I'm a connoisseur of either truss. When I solve this connoisseur conundrum, you'll be the first to know.
