Answer a question - Ask the next one.

Lets see if it catches on.

To start: Heavyweight journeyman Jesse Fergusson has fought 11 past/future World Champions and lost to 10 of them, which did he not lose to?

Right then, looks liks it's my turn then.

Who was 'unsuccessful' (as in, draws and defeats) in more world title fights than any other boxer in history?

As in never won one?

No, sorry let me clarify. The name I'm after was a world champion, and a bloody brilliant one, too. But they also just happened to be unsuccessful in more world title bouts than anyone, too.

Good shout Chris.

I'm going to have a wild stab in the dark at Tony Canzoneri, must be someone from that lightweight/Welterweight era

Is It Fritzie Zivic, Chris ??

Cheers Rodders

Good guess on Zivic, Rodders. He lost more fights than any other world champion, but not the most title ones. Very good shout.

Ghosty, you've got it with Canzoneri, great stuff and it's over to you.

That was a complete and utter guess as well, Robinson and Duran must be up there as well.

Who beat more olympic gold medallists than any other boxer?

Cheers Chris, I might get one right soon !

_______________________________________________

Complete guess but Ali beat a few with Patterson, Frazier and Foreman

Mario Kindelan?

Chavez?

Ghosty, could it be Mike Tyson? Off the top of my head I can think of Tillman, Spinks and Biggs.

I missed out the latin bit didn't I?

He equals Ali so i'll give it to you Rowley

What about Felix Trinidad? At least De La Hoya, Reid, Whitaker.

Trinidad was the answer I was looking for, you can fight between yourselves I screwed up a little bit

Ok a question I have posed on 606 before but see how good peoples memory is Which 19th Century bareknuckle champion went on to be a member of parliament?

I know the answer but feel im hogging things a bit

JG?

Jeff, was it John Gully? I think he was MP for somewhere in your native Yorkshire, wasn't he?

Correct Ghosty, is impressive skills mate. Could really show off and tell us which British heavyweight portrayed him in the film Royal Flash

Correct Chris was indeed Gully

>

Wasn't that our 'Enery?

Who fought for Salvador Sanchez's featherweight title after his death?

Seeing as Sanchez was set up for a rematch with LaPorte, I'd guess him.

Halfway there

Juan LaPorte, does that complete it?

Q - How has the Compubox record for most punches thrown in a 12 round fight?

I'm looking for his opponent as well

Joe Calzaghe?

Mario Miranda

Rodders

You are correct Rodney

I know the answer to the Compubox question I think but not a clue about the Juan LaPorte opponent

VC the answer is TT

Punch record is by Margacheato against the turtle?

Well done Rodders.

Cheers Imperial, I had to cheat for his 1st name

Who fought 6 world champions, in one calender year?

Cheers

Rodders

Rodders

Current champions or anyone who once held a belt?

Got to be Harry Greb surely?

That sounds like Greb's 1923 year.

Scott, Imperial

This guy is a bit more obscure, think Greb faced 5.

A little hint Marvin Hart & Tommy Ryan were on this guys CV in the same year

Thanks

Rodders

Philidelphia Jack O' Brian?

Great Shout mate, ironically he was one of the champions he faced in that calender year.

Meant to say Great shout but not correct, Scott.

Apologies for the anti climax

Thanks

Rodders

Sam Langford?

imperialghosty wrote:Sam Langford?

Much more obscure Ghosty, not a household name.

The question was set in an old boxing illustrated magazine, I didnt get it myself, it is difficult.

Thanks

Rodders

This question is a load of BS

Rodders, stabs in the dark; Jim Flynn? Jack 'Twin' Sullivan? Joe Choynski?

I don't hold much hope for any of them, but desperate times calls for and so on and so forth.

Afraid not Chris, but hats off mate for some top shouts.

A clue

fought Marvin Hart, Joe Walcott, Tommy Ryan, Jack Root, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien & George Gardner all in one year.


Cheers

Rodders

I see my hint at the answer went over everyones head, will openly admit i'd never heard of him

Ha it did Imperial nice one mate (i've always been a little slow)

Rodders

Not sure I can accept the accolades for this one as did have to trawl through Harts record bit by bit
