    Did your boxer fight at least 50% of his professional career at bantamweight?

    Because I can't give a confident answer I won't count this towards the question counter. Since this is a pre 1920s boxer boxrec doesn't always have the weights listed for each fight. The more precise you try to be the harder it is to know for certain. I will stick with that he fought at featherweight or lower for at least 50% of his career.

    I don’t have it figured out, yet. Unfortunately It’s almost my bed time, so I will leave the (hopefully) cracking of the case to someone else.
    If not I’ll forensically analyse the available data in the next 24 hours and nail your boxer to the canvas by an obsessive process of deduction…

    That's first name, right? Or full name - so either first name or surname? Hope You won't count this one as a question, just clarifying.

    - Did Your boxer have more than 50 professional fights, counting newspaper decision bouts (Going by boxrec)?

    Congratulations that is my boxer! I usually put a video here but I can't find anything good for Rosebud unfortunately.

    I will hopefully update the scoreboard and talk about the future of this thread sometime later today.
