A boxing knowledge challenge.

Yes, that would indeed be more challengingI

So with this in mind... who can come up with the shortest way to "prove" Jimmy Wilde beats Primo Carnera?

 

Try this one: -

Emmanuel Steward to Lennox Lewis.

Times up!!!!

Answer: Emmanuel Lewis (aka Webster)

I sincerely hope I haven’t got the premise wrong here.

 

I think this is the actual correct answer.

Since we're not playing for sheep stations, I will allow two correct answers. Different strokes for different folks - a phrase you won't find in Webster's dictionary.

Which reminds me, another much yearned for superfight that didn't materialize during the 80s - Arnold vs Webster. I blame Don King for lack of anyone else to blame.

 

Hamed-Valuev

Barrera
Pac
Oscar
Hopkins
Jones Jr
Ruiz
Valuev

 

Can't believe I missed Ruiz as a direct connection between Jones and Valuev - but well done!

 

Jimmy Wilde to Max Schmeling in 4 jumps. Wilde, Pete Herman, Lew Tendler, Mickey Walker, Max Schmeling.

 

Kingpetch bt Harada bt Jofre bt Saldivar bt Laguna bt Urbina bt Napoles bt Griffith bt Don Fullmer bt Ellis bt Quarry.

 

Dude! I'm not sure which challenge this is in response to, but it has more or less answered my earlier Pone Kingpetch to Liston question. Just take out Quarry and add in Leotis Martin and then Sonny Liston.

Well done.!

 

It was your post that got me thinking about it,

 

Thinking about it I could of left Quarry off, flyweight champ beating a heavyweight claimant in 9 steps.

 

True. Good stuff.
