    No problem!

    I will lay off for a couple of hours as I have to go to church now.

    ****! :shock: I remember Foreman being massive (over 19 stone) when he returned against Zouski after his long layoff, what the hell did he weigh against Hostetter?

    That, I believe, is good enough for 2nd place in this category. Tarver is beaten by one measly pound by a non-champion... who once fought for a world title against an undefeated heavyweight champion.

    Yes, Mr. Hascup... you are right, once again:good

    When Bay met Johnny DuPlooy in 1987, he weighed in at 236 lbs. His next fight was 3 years later, against Paul Bradshaw, and here he tipped the scales at 283 lbs... an increase of 47 lbs.

    This means, that we now have taken care of all but one of the querstions: Round 2 (where we are looking for the 2 brothers, who shared the most HOFers)!

    It's difficult to help with some clues, without actually giving the answer away, but:
    During his career, one of the brothers met a total of 5 HOFers.
    He had a more famous brother, who met those same 5 men as well - PLUS quite a few other HOFers!
    Neither of the brothers held a world title - and they are not in the IBHOF.

    Yes, needless to say, you got it right again!:cool:


    So all 15 rounds have now been settled. I might add that:

    Another man who met 6 undefeated champs (Round 1) is James "Bonecrusher" Smith.

    Another man who had 10 fights against HOFers in one year (Round 10) is Soldier Bartfield.

    And besides those already mentioned, there have been at least 2 more men, who can claim to have defeated 3 brothers (Round 12):
    Burt Colima (Dave, Billy and George Shade)
    Joe Mandot (Charley and Jack White - plus their brother Billy Wagner!)


    Thanks to all (not just those with a correct answer) for participating and showing an interest. Hope you had fun!

    Looks like Juan Polo Perez has beaten that. If I've counted correctly, he went 2-23 in his last 25 fights:
