Someone should set up another boxing draft so I can spend the quarantine writing a 10,000 word essay on Benny Leonard or something.

Been a while since we did mate. Lawnmowerman is still our reigning champion.

We did three of them but interest outside our core boxing lads was very little. For a draft to work you'd need the other fuckers involved too.

Nope, not at Middleweight mate.

Herns, Duran

Samie · « **Reply #62686 on:** March 24, 2020, 06:22:58 pm »

Nope. Like I said to Lusty the last 4 you need you have to think slightly outside the box. 2 of them you'll know by name hopefully , the other two is a long shot.

Jack Dempsey was champion at a few weights but I think this is wrong as I’m sure he was heavyweight.

It’s a tricky one and probably kick myself when you reveal the names !

Samie · « **Reply #62691 on:** March 24, 2020, 07:50:02 pm »

Dempsey is correct in at 7.

Quote

He fought from 1883 to 1895 with a pro record of 51-4-11 with 23 Kos. Dempsey’s middleweight championship reign lasted for six years, six months and 15 days and he defended his title just three times. He was named the inaugural Middleweight Champion on July 30th, 1884 and reigned until losing his title to Bob Fitzsimmons when he was stopped in the 13th round in January of 1891.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #62694 on:** March 24, 2020, 07:54:26 pm »

I know Gene Tunney was small for a heavyweight, but I am not sure he was a Middleweight champ

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #62695 on:** March 24, 2020, 07:57:13 pm »

Just Googled it, no way would I have got the last two!

Samie · « **Reply #62696 on:** March 24, 2020, 07:57:56 pm »

Nope on Tunney.

You won;t get it unless you wiki the shit out of it, so I guess i'll reveal it.

The only reason I named him was because heavyweights weren’t big in them days plus not as many weight divisions.

I fluked it really as it was pure guess work but it’s off the list now.

Yeah back in the late 1800's and early 1900's Middweight-Heavyweight wasn't that much and you had fighters going up and down.

Possibly De La Hoya.

Samie · « **Reply #62706 on:** March 24, 2020, 08:11:57 pm »

Oscars not in the top 10 list for single reigns mate. He does get an honourable mention though.

Samie · « **Reply #62707 on:** March 24, 2020, 08:18:52 pm »

I will say 10,9 and 8 are a bit WTF!

2 is WTF in the sense that he reigned for how long?

Not that Gareth · « **Reply #62714 on:** March 24, 2020, 09:51:29 pm »

Jack Britton is in the top 10, I only know that because I was reading an article on boxing rivalries the other day and him and Ted Lewis came up, they fought eachother 20 times!

Samie · « **Reply #62715 on:** March 24, 2020, 09:58:27 pm »

Well done mate Jack Britton is in at 8.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #62716 on:** March 24, 2020, 10:25:36 pm »

Bit of a head scratcher the rest...

Samie · « **Reply #62717 on:** March 24, 2020, 10:26:50 pm »

Number 2 is a guy you should get but only because he held onto a title a while but he's an absolute dickhead.

Samie · « **Reply #62718 on:** March 24, 2020, 10:30:24 pm »

If you get the #2 guy I'll reveal the other two tough ones.

I am guessing he is a controversial figure then !

I was tempted to say Cotto but I’m not sure he was around at WW that long and he lost a few at that weight I think.
