        NO CHEATING!!!

        1: Who did Joe Frazier beat to win the NYC world Heavyweight title in 1968?

        Buster Mathis

        2: Name the ref who has handled the most contests for the HW title

        Can't say for sure. Arthur Mercante?

        3: Who did Henry Cooper beat at Wembley in 1971 to become EBU HW champion for the third time?

        Jack Bodell

        4: Which former HW world champion's real name was Noah Brusso?

        Hmmm. Primo Carnera?

        5: When Tim Witherspoon won the WBA HW title in January 1986 who did he beat?

        I think it was Tony Tubbs. Going with that.

        7: Who was the first man to manage two HW champions?

        Sonny Banks is your man.

        9: Who was the first man to retire as Undefeated HW champion?

        Undoubtedly, Jim Jeffries. Probably the best one to do so, as well.

        10: Who was the first man to take Mike Tyson the distance as a pro?

        James Tillis

        11: Which former world HW champion started off his career fighting under the name " Kid Blackie"?

        Fairly sure this one is Jack Dempsey.

        12: What fight in boxing history drew the first Million dollar gate?

        Dempsey-Carpentier.

        13: Joe Frazier and George Foreman were Olympic HW champions in 1964 and 968 but who won he title in Rome in 1960?

        You got me there. Clay won his Rome medal at Light-Heavy.

        Marty Marshall, via decision.

        15: This man went the distance with Lennox Lewis for the WBC HW title and never fought again

        I think this might've been that fellow...not sure (without checking) on the spelling, but he was the vegetarian who had the muscle-wasting illness. Zelko Mavrovic?

        16: Louisville Kentucky has provided three world HW champs, name them

        Marvin Hart, Muhammad Ali, Jimmy Ellis.

        That was Ross Purrity.

        LOL, not a clue.

        Primo Carnera (Italy) & Paulo Uzcudan (Spain).

        You got me.

        23: Who was the first University Graduate to win the world HW title?

        Another one I'm dropping. I'll take a shot, though. Gene Tunney?

        24: Who was the only man to fight Rocky Marciano both before and after he was HW champ?

        Roland LaStarza

        25: When Henry Cooper first challenged for the European HW title he was knocked out in 5 rounds. Who was his opponent?

        Unsure.

        Worked in a slaughterhouse.

        27: Name the six ex HW world champs who have all been KO'd in the first round trying to regain the title

        There haven't been six for the linear title, & beyond that, I'm less knowledgeable.

        28: Name four boxers who competed in the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games and went on to win a version of the world HW title

        Won't make it to four.

        29: Name three fights for the world HW title where there were 7 Knock downs in one round

        Three? Dempsey-Willard, Dempsey-Firpo, Johansson-Patterson I?

        30: Name the Father and son both knocked out in the third round by Jersey Joe Walcott, the father in June 1936 and the son in Feb 1950. The son would later go on to become world LHW champ

        No idea here. Interesting fact.

        31: Who was the shortest man to win the HW title?

        Guessing Tommy Burns.

        32: Which was the first World HW title fight to be filmed for general display to the public?

        Not sure.

        33: The York Hall Bethnall Green was the venue for this former claiment to the world HW championship's last fight. Who was he?

        Damn. I want to peek because I know I know this, but rules is rules!

        34: Which WBA HW champ was known as "Hercules"?

        I think you must mean, "The Black Hercules," which was Kenny Norton. They did also call Tim Witherspoon, "Hercules," I think. I'll go with Norton, though.

        35: There have been four world HW champions who were christened James J. Who where they?
        Couldn't think of all four.

        Let me know how I went.
