    51 out of 100.

    I missed a few obvious ones. Can't believe I forgot about Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield.

    Julian 'The Hawk' Jackson, Ezzard Charles=Cincinnatti Cobra and 'Man of Steel' Tony Zale were ones I should have got but totally forgot.

    Chris Eubank and Alexis Arguello were nicknames I really didn't know.

    Idk I don't like saying I'm good at things, but you are right in saying that I've not been into boxing that long and young

    73. I honestly thought Nonpareil was his first name. Most disappointing one was Harry Wills. Black ****in Panther. I also wrote "black destroyer" instead of "dark destroyer" and got Earnie Shavers lol.

    59. For the life of me I couldn’t recall jermain Taylor. Trinidad I didn’t get until only a few minutes left. I couldn’t remember heavyweight Jack Dempsey’s nickname but could remember the other Dempsey but didn’t know how to spell it :(

    I thought Ricardo Lopez was El Finito but it wouldn't give me it.

    I knew but couldn't remember Bobby Chacon, Vernon Forrest, Benny Leonard, Paul Williams and Gerald McClellan. The rest I didn't know.

    The dumb one I drew a blank on was Naseem Hamed. I was thinking Naseem "the something or other" Hamed and clean forgot that he was Prince Naseem. I really hate that little ******* now.
