Humean and Bundanna: This is not thread worthy but its kind of a cool aside...

What letter of the alphabet is responsible for being the first letter of more heavyweight champions names, from the inception of boxing until the early 1970's?

PS I only know this because I read it as an interesting aside...lol.

To make it interesting you both get two guesses! And try to do it from memory. Last names, nicknames count.

5) Excellent... Gedo is correct!

1) Ali fought 4 Olympic champions - but someone else fought 5!

That was tough, Tyson fought 4, Holmes fought 4, Chavez fought 4...

C?

That was tough, Tyson fought 4, Holmes fought 4, Chavez fought 4...

Also I think Locatelli, Archie Moore, McGirt and Chuvalo. Unless one of them is actually 5 and not 4 then I'm not sure about the first answer, it seems like it should be the easiest question of the six but i'm struggling!
