Don't just go blurting out a perfect set of answers, nobody's going to believe you didn't have a look anyway. Post how many you got right, or close, honor system.

 

* depending on whether you consider Andy Ruiz Jr. a representative of the U.S. or Mexico, it could alter the metrics slightly...but shouldn't drastically affect overall placement in any category.

 

Whoa! In your case I actually do believe you.

Chuck has some encyclopedic knowledge.

Wait, do you mean you got the 'which' parts right, or down to exact numbers? Because if the latter, HOLY ****

 

I was on the fence as to whether or not to extend the Big Four to 5 and include the IBO. They're not quite there yet, IMO..

 

See, now this is a real mensch. Be like PP, don't be insecure cowards.
