Who am i?

I beat (2) future-to-be Heavyweight Champions.
And, I knocked one of them out twice.

Also, I fought '5' fighters who were involved with Heavyweight Title fights,
'3' of whom became Champions.

And not only did I beat 3 of the 5, I knocked them out.

And I never got 'one ounce of respect'

Who Am I ?

 

I never got a 'Title' Shot.

But was involved in '2" Heavyweight Eliminator Fights'

 

I was the 'Darling of Afternoon TV Fights for 2 years',,,,,,,,,

and not just on American soil,,,,,,,

 

My brother even beat a future to-be World Champion!

 

I can't make all the clues quite fit, but I've got to go with Duane Bobick. His brother Rodney beat Mike Weaver... Duane KO'd Weaver as a pro and won a decision over him as an amateur... Duane won a DQ over Holmes as an amateur... He has KOs over Wepner and LeDoux... The Norton and Tate fights were title eliminators...

 

sweetsci,,,,,,,,YOU ARE THE MAN,,,,,,,:good:good

Duane also KO'd Mike Weaver in the amateurs,,,,,,
Also, 9 times on National TV, 1971 and 1972.

 

The amateur stuff stumped me; not my field of expertise at all. Props to Wikipedia.

 

That was a tricky one, Duce:good

Hope to see more trivia from you in the future.
