Winston Churchill?

by Hammersmith harrier Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:34 am

It was the then president but can't remember his name.

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:35 am

Close enough, Hammersmith. It was Taft. Over to you.

Was he Chuchill's bitch like Regan was to Thatcher?

Abraham Lincoln?

by Hammersmith harrier Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:39 am

Who is the only triple world champion not to lose a fight in which he was the defending champion? Fairly sure he won them all too.

by milkyboy Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:39 am

Would Americans consider Taft to be more important than Wyatt Earp? He turned it down too

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:42 am

Arguello isn't it, Hammersmith? Althought I think Fenech qualifies too, come to think of it.

by Hammersmith harrier Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:47 am

Right on both counts, must be some lineal mumbo jumbo that differentiates them.

by TRUSSMAN66 Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:48 am

Taft was a one term President...Didn't get re-elected because Roosevelt split the ticket when they fell out.

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:58 am

Outside of the Heavyweights, who is the only man to have boxed 25 or more world title fights exclusively in just one division?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:07 am

Jimmy Wilde?

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:09 am

Bad luck, Coxy.

by Guest Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:12 am

Is it Ricardo Lopez?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:14 am

Hmmm

Probably got to be more recent with all the alphabet titles...

Ricardo Lopez?

Pedroza?

Or if it is an old fighter then Armstrong?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:16 am

Dave, stop copying me

by Guest Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:17 am

Sorry Coxy!!!!!!!!!

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:19 am

You're both wrong anyway, you pair of jokers.

by Guest Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:20 am

**** you, Chris!

by milkyboy Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:20 am

Lopez and galaxy were my first thoughts.., But Think Lopez' last title fights were a weight up. galaxy, was a one weight fighter but he only got to about 20.

Think we need a clue. From your phrasing, did this guy lose a few Chris?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:21 am

Bhop then?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:21 am

man sausage it, that's not it either

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:22 am

Yes, he went 19-6 in title fights, Coxy.

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:23 am

Norris? One weight wonder

If it's not him then I'm Frak off down the pub

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:24 am

At different weights though, Chris

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:24 am

That's the one. Terrible Terry.

by milkyboy Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:28 am

Well done coxy. My era and I had no idea he had that many title fights

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:37 am

Ok my turn.

In recent times the boxing world lost Edwin Valero at a point where he was becoming a P4P playa'.

But who in less recent times had his career ended early with an undefeated record - not by death or injury. Who was it and what was the issue that stopped him fighting?

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 6:38 am

milkyboy wrote:Well done coxy. My era and I had no idea he had that many title fights

Just remember him fighting in pretty much one division, if it wasn't him then I was off down t'pub.

Always remember that wally Marsh saying he had epilepsy before he was going to earn a million dollar payday against Camacho...

What a spanner....

Good question Mate.............

by Coxy001 Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:02 am

Amended the question Truss, should've read "in less recent times" (and we're talking pre 1970 but post 1930s before you all start with people who went to war etc)

by **88Chris05** Fri Jan 23, 2015 7:07 am

Laszlo Papp, due to the Hungarian government suddenly banning professional boxing after initially giving him a one-off licence?

Andrew Flintoff, is the reason he was rubbish and decided to play cricket again instead.

Bingo, bumhole! Thought it'd take a bit longer if you and old git Rowley stayed off (is he having another hip replacement? Not seen him in a while).

You'd see him more If you didn't keep getting kicked off !! thumbsup

You notice I kept the old git bit in !!! Cool

Fear not, I am working on a Joe Choynski thread, which I am pretty sure will represent my greatest ever score on the amount of work/complete lack of responses ratio.
