Your Holmes question is skewed. You need to distinguish between WBC title or lineal title.

Otherwise a fine quiz.

Holmes question is fine I would say. Against whom did he win his (first) title?

The question is like this:

Who did Larry Holmes beat to win the Heavyweight Championship of the World?

Spoiler alert!!!!!





















The way I see it, Holmes became HW champion of the World by beating Ali, so that would be my answer. I'm aware that he won a vacant belt against Norton, but that was not for THE title.

The question is like this:





Spoiler alert!!!!!

I did not want to discuss this question because of the spoiler.
I will say this: does anybody know that Wladimir won the lineal title by beating Chagaev? Most people do not know it and most people do not care about it because it is meaningless somehow. Of course you have your point but personally I do not think it is so important to think about the lineal title that much. I will not talk about that question because I do not want to spoil it.
By the way in question 4 I missed one word.

30 Cmon! jajaj, someOne has to make a Quizz but newer. I mean, questions about the last 10 years

[TBear]

I got one wrong(as "V").

The question I got wrong read,
"Who of those 4 was able to Joe Louis through the ropes?"

No excuse though I should have figured it out.

I think most wouldn't consider Ali the heavyweight champion at that time. At least I don't see it that way.

Lineal is fine, but the truth is that nobody could seriously perceive Ali to be the heavyweight champion in that fight.
