I never held a world crown, but... over a period of less than 2 years, I defeated world champions from 4 of boxing's 8 classic divisions. Who am I? (and we are of course talking about different champions for each division)
Harlem Tommy Murphy actually did it in less than 1 year, he beat: Welterweight Champion, Mike Glover on May 5, 1909 Lightweight Champion, Ad Wolgast on September 1, 1909 Bantamweight Champion, Owen Moran on February 28, 1910 Featherweight Champion, Abe Attell on April 28, 1910
In my research for this question, I missed Murphy - but he is most certainly a correct answer to this question:good There's at least one more non-champ, who fits this decription. Someone who beat champions at welter, middle, light heavy and heavyweight.
hhascup cheats someway somehow... nobody can know that much. nobody at all. not a hope on hell. too ****ing clever. way too ****ing clever. cheating. cheating. cheating. **** I'M JEALOUS
Well, Loughran was of course himself a world champion... and as such can't be a candidate for this question.
Leo Lomski beat Middleweight Champion Tiger Flower on January 22, 1927 Light Heavyweight Champion Mike McTigue on February 3, 1928 Welterweight Champion Pete Latzo on September 7, 1928 Heavyweight Champion James J. Braddock on January 18, 1929
What can I say, hh, except that... yes, Lomski was the man, I was thinking about. Great job, once again!
