Trivia Question

yea but also.. Barkley only had a few fights at the time. It was probably a 6 or 8 round fight with him and Robbie. Robbie also stopped unbeaten Jlhn Collins in 1 and he beat Roberto Duran before Duran came back and beat Barkley for the title.

yeah, Barkley was thrown in over his head, against Simms....though he showed a lot.

Robbie looked devastating against Collins. Too bad Robbie couldn't beat Czyz, though he was giving him a good scrap until Czyz floored him.

Yogi....

The guy's name was Luther Jackson. He was the greatest boxing-letter writer of all time, lol.

Ah, I would never have guessed that one.

Save a couple, all my boxing mags from the 80's are long gone and almost forgotten. Too bad too, cause I miss those friggin' things sometimes, like those fantasy fights they'd put on in the Big Book of Boxing...I thought those were cool when I was younger!

Now....there's so much ready info on the web. Those Magazines, even though they were always around two months behind, were your main source for boxing info.

The Fantasy Fights in Big Book were the best thing about them.
They really, really went into detail...from setting the stage upto the breakdown of the fight itself.

Ok, I'll throw a trivia question out there and the million points that were so kindly given to me earlier, will be up for grabs. Ah, I'll make it 10 million, I guess...Don't have much need for this many points, anyways.

Who were the first two fighters to earn a purse of at least one million dolars in a fight (one fight...two millionares)?

I sparred Robbie in 1987 at the same time I was boxing Steve Collins at the Petronelli's

Yeah, they did an excellant job on those things, that's for sure.

Another part of what those magazines at the time offered, was Boxing Illustrated's divisional rankings that rated the top 50 fighters in each division (or maybe it was top 100?...been too long, but they were very indepth). I think that was more from they're mid/late 70's issues, but I thought that was pretty cool, cause I'd never hear about a bunch of those guys unless I saw them included in those extended rankings.
