    Max Schmeling. Noting he seen a flaw in Joe Louis' style which could give him an edge. Louis kept his left a little low & would be vulnerable to a counter right.

    I will have a guess at Floyd Patterson.

    For second - Frazier?

    Why not? Gallico didn't like Louis anyway because he was black, so I'm not suprised in the slightest that Paul "

    One of the questions asked, "Who were the fighters involved in the first heavyweight championship ever scheduled for 15 rounds", and none of the choices were the right answer. Their answer was Jack Dempsey vs. Bill Brennan, but the real answer is Jess Willard vs. Jack Dempsey. That website is flawed.:good

    Here is one that seems to get people;

    What three (unrelated) titlists (either WBA, C or IBF) from the 80s all grew up on the same street, what was the name of the street and where was it?

    Q1: Vinny Paz had a 15 rounder in the 90s, but I think there was one a little later on but the names escape me.

    Q2: Tucker/Douglas at a guess

    Not sure, I imagine it's in New York or London. But i'll have a stab at somewhere in Fort Worth, Texas: Don, Bruce Curry and Gene Hatcher?
