Yes. You have done excellent in this thread. You must be a walking encyclopedia.
You still miss one though. Hint: Ray Robinson is involved.
hhascup 01-19-2010, 03:06 PM Yes. You have done excellent in this thread. You must be a walking encyclopedia.

I thought you were thinking about Robinson BUT he had 4 bouts with Fullmer, and they were all title bouts. He went 1-2-1.
BattlingNelson 01-20-2010, 08:47 AM I thought you were thinking about Robinson BUT he had 4 bouts with Fullmer, and they were all title bouts. He went 1-2-1.
I was thinking about those 2 yes. And yes they did fight 4 times for the championship and not 3 as I implied. My bad.
