    Ok, not really. But I came across a bit of an anomaly.

    Australian MW Johnny Douglas—active in the second half of the 1950s—fought in 1956 and weighed in at 159 pounds. His next recorded bout came three years later in 1959 at a listed weight of 121 pounds! Against another Aussie by the name of Johnny Evans (who lost to Johnny Famechon in 1964).

    I'm sure this is just a sort of typo and pretty meaningless but, ya know, whatever.


    What's the strangest thing you've come across on BoxRec?
