It's been a while since we've had some trivia - so I thought we might try this:
1.
Who had the most world title fights, without ever beating a world champion?
(And I mean without EVER defeating, in title bouts or non-title bouts, an opponent who - at one time or another - held a world title!)
Clue:
We're talking about a boxer, who was 6-4 in world title fights! In other words, he was a world champ... but on his record you won't find a single win over someone, who is recognized by BoxRec as a world champion.
hhascup:
Rodrigo Valdez (10)
2.
Who had at least one fight per year, for more consecutive years than any other boxer?
(We go by records as they appear in BoxRec)
hhascup:
Kid Azteca 32 years from 1930-1961
3.
Who defeated the most world champions, without ever becoming one himself?
(Let's agree, that we count NWS wins as well as official wins - and that a world champion is a boxer, who is recognized as such by BoxRec)
Clue:
This man is not recognized by BoxRec as a world champ... but he defeated 10 different men who are. These men won world titles from flyweight to lightweight. On his record is also a draw against a welterweight champion.
hhascup:
Memphis Pal Moore (10)
4.
Who was the most experienced world title challenger ever?
(Most fights under the belt, when challenging - not necessarily for the first time - for a world title)
hhascup:
Johnny Dundee (323)
5.
Which world champion had the longest streak of fights, that all ended inside the distance?
DeepSleep:
John Mugabi (42)
6.
Which non-HOFer fought the most HOFers?
(IBHOF only!)
hhascup:
Johnny Risko 12 (Sharkey 2 Tunney 1 Schmeling 1 Baer 2 Berlenbach 1 Loughran 5 Slattery 1 Walker 3 JHLewis 1 Delaney 2 Stribling 2 Godfrey 1)
