I'm impressed you got Burns so quickly, took a lot longer to compile the list than I thought and know it's going to get decimated fairly quickly

17. Pancho Villa

Knew you would get that one D4

Serious question, you seem to know a lot about Phillipino boxers, how comes?

Wild guess for no.5, Freddie Welsh.

Indeed it is Windy

Hi Imperial

9. Is Battling Levinsky

I would only know that as I read an article about Jewish fighters not so long back.

Just good boxers, purely coincidental that they are Filipino boxers. Many boxers from the Philippines, I know little of.

Pancho Villa was a Mexican revolutionary

I recognise 12 but can't think who it is.

From the top of my head...

1. Oscar Mathaeus Nielsen - Battling Nelson?
2. Eric Esch - 'Butterbean'
3. Gershon Mendeloff - Ted 'Kid' Lewis
4. John Edward Kelly - 'Nonpareil' Jack Dempsey
5. Frederick Hall Thomas - Freddie Welsh, I think?
6. Judah Bergman - Jack 'Kid' Berg
7. Louis Mbarick Fall - Could it be one of the many 'real names' given to Battling Siki?
8. Sura Saenkham - Will guess at Saensak Muangsurin
9. Barney Williams - No idea at all
10. John Arthur Johnson - Jack Johnson
11. Giuseppe Antonio Berardinelli - No a clue, will have a guess at Fidel La Barba
12. Antonio Cervantes - 'Kid' Pambele
13. Walker Smith Jr - Sugar Ray Robinson
14. Eligio Sardinas Montalvo - Kid Chocolate
15. Guglielmo Papaleo - Willie Pep
16. Chalermwong Udomma - No idea to be honest
17. Francisco Guilledo - Same as above, blank on this one
18. Noah Brusso - Tommy Burns
19. Yuji Suzuki - A bit of a guess; Guts Isihimatsu?
20. Ismael Meneses - Ismael Laguna, maybe?

Some tough ones there!

"20. Ismael Meneses - Ismael Laguna, maybe?"

Little gutted to miss that, as well as Villa which I've heard before.

Good effort Chris, i'm going to have to start making these quizzes more difficult

Just 8, 9, 11 and 16 left to get

The four people didn't get are highlighted in capitals

Poonsawat didn't change his name for ease of use then. Nice quiz, your question on my quiz if you're interested.
