Answer as many as you can, also come up with some of your own. Some easy, some hard. No cheating please!!!
1. Which fighter knocked out his first 18 pro opponents in the first round?
2. Which boxer fought from Flyweight to Heavyweight and every division in between?
3. How many actual knockouts did Calzaghe score in his pro career? (TKOs not included.)
4. With what ailment did Jack 'Nonpareil' Dempsey fight Bob Fitzsimmons?
jcc vs haugen, they talked about it during the pacman/clottey fight. I remember being blown away, I had always thought it was the thrilla in manilla and ended up being wrong about that too. I think ali/spinks drew more as well.
I really need to brush up on littel stuff like that, wonder if we'll ever see those type of numbers in a venue again. The klits get pretty damn close everytime out.
Good post, unfortunately I don't think we'll see those numbers again as the big fights happen in countries which charge very high prices. If Pac fought in the Philippines and charged $1 a ticket he could draw hundreds of thousands (if there were a large enough arena.)
Flyweight apparently.
Which fight had the largest attendance of all time?
