View Full Version : Trivia 3 hhascup 02-17-2010, 11:13 PM What Olympic boxer fought back to back future Professional World Champions? Name the boxer and what two future World Champions did he box?<o></o> Bundana 02-18-2010, 01:58 AM Sugar Ray Seales fought future champs Ayub Kalule and Marvin Hagler back to back. (There are several such cases... so maybe I have misunderstood the question?) ok, forget the above... I think I get, what you mean now! Bundana 02-18-2010, 05:26 AM Tyrell Biggs fought Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis (in back to back fights, actually!) before either won a world title - and since Lewis succeded Bowe as WBC title holder, I guess you can call them back to back world champions. Is this what you are looking for? hhascup 02-18-2010, 10:43 AM Tyrell Biggs fought Riddick Bowe and Lennox Lewis (in back to back fights, actually!) before either won a world title - and since Lewis succeded Bowe as WBC title holder, I guess you can call them back to back world champions. Is this what you are looking for? No, BUT that was a good answer. The boxer I am looking for, fought 2 future world champions in consecutive bouts in the Olympic Games. Bundana 02-18-2010, 11:35 AM No, BUT that was a good answer. The boxer I am looking for, fought 2 future world champions in consecutive bouts in the Olympic Games. LOL... I seem to have misunderstood the question in every possible way! But if we are looking for fights that took place in Olympic competition, my answer will have to be: Alexander Tkachenko... who, at light-flyweight, in the 1976 Games beat Eleoncio Mercedes in the first round of the competition, before losing to Payao Poontarat in the next. Bundana 02-18-2010, 12:16 PM And there's also Arnoldo Pares... who fought both Vic Toweel and Jimmy Carruthers back to back in the 1948 Games. hhascup 02-18-2010, 02:12 PM Correct! Good Job. Bundana 02-18-2010, 02:35 PM Correct! Good Job. Thanks... and thanks for the trivia! Personally, I'd like to see more stuff like this in here. |
