    Geez, good get Rock!

    Even gave you a bum steer on the year - it was 1970 - and you still ate it!

    Benvenuti was the reigning world champ at the time with a huge record, including wins against Griffith, Fulmer etc. His opponent Tom Berthia was an inexperienced nobody until that night.

    I reckon as reigning trivia champ you deserve the old steam iron Flamengo's put up, and I'll throw in a cheap set of steak knives (only used once).

    ...and the Rude man was a legend 20 years ago! Used to wet our pants laughing at him.

    It's ironic now that the 'F' word chef can now say stuff on TV that police were trying to lock poor Rodney up for years ago!

    Haven't seen a new question all day. Thought it time to add one.

    QUESTION:

    Fought using same surname as more famous twin brother, but changed original christian name in favour of a different 'ring' name.

    Fought in same weight division as brother, but could be best described as a journeyman.

    (Have been purposefully vague due to the high hit rate of recent answers).

    Mate, let me say that hearing you say 'I have no idea' is music to my ears - you've been braining us for days!

    Non Aussies, and the lesser brother's original christian name was George.

    Your on the $$$ again Rock!

    Henry, whom the Poms of course refered to as 'Our Enry', had a twin brother called George who fought under the name Jim. Had about a 50/50 win loss record. Your serve mate.

    (Hope you've got a spare iron other than the Elner, Flamengo!)

    Good call Rodin - I've actually got that at home but haven't watched it for a while - will have a search.

    Feel free to get involved in the question & answer here - guarantee it'll frustrate the hell out of ya! Post us a question mate.
