    nice try, besides that being in the "olden days" I'll bet you that Ross didn't weigh over 142lbs for that fight, there is an 8 lb limit today in that division. might have been different back then.

    fail

    Nope. Jr. Welterwight was an established division.

    The limits went, and still go

    135 max for LW
    140 for JWW
    147 for WW

    Since Ross weighed over 140, he counts as being a "true" welterweight. Armstrong weighed under the lightweight limit at 133 (and he was fully clothed at the weigh in).

    No regulation has been put in place since then to establish weight minimums. So there ya have it.

    Admit it, man...The first question was flawed.

    This is the kind of thread ESB needs.

    Agreed, Some of the questions need to be worded better, but it's still a fun way to pass the time.:good

    incorrect

    I've not only broken them down with my mind but I've done it plenty of times with gloved fists.

    I wouldn't expect many to know about the actual fight in the ring but they shopuld be able to get these right if they knew anything.

    the question was not flawed, the only thing flawed is your understanding of the game.

    Looks like I need some coffee. Just read again and can see I changed back from the correct answer (If it isnt some kind of trap)
