Can anyone solve this boxing riddle?

Ok who knows this one?

My first I guess it could be said,
Is associated with spelling,
Or Miriam and Moses,
In the old tales that they're telling,

I never did the Abbott make,
But still I am no liar,
I was always considered greater than,
The average humble friar,

Five years I dominated all,
My gimlet eyes classed prey,
Till one young guy led me to fall,
And at his feet I lay,

You get bonus points for all the clues you spot...

 

Well, can they?

 

Koki Kameda.

 

Nope...

I have to admit on returning to it I struggled to remember who it was myself. Maybe went a little too cryptic!

There are quite a few clues however and we are talking a very talented fighter

 

Anthony Joshua? Joshua a biblical name, humble, unbeaten for around 5 years.

 

Man, why did you tell natedog that he was not El Matador? El Matador is mayorga.

Is he "el matador"? NO
Is he mayorga? Yes! you got it!!!

and me ->

 

Solve this

Skinny legged super noodle
Couldn't even squat a poodle
Came out wearing lots of foam
Almost broke his tender bones
Loud, obnioxious and quite tall
Ain't got any skill at all.

 

Nope, but you are on the right lines with an OT biblical name

 

Arthur Abraham?

 

Nope!

He's maybe someone the guys in the classic section would remember?

 

Good one - and the answer is of course Aaron Pryor.

 

10 points for Gryffindor!

I'm glad you got it as I used up all my clues in there!

 

Is that a pic of you in your avatar? For some reason my wife really wants to meet you.
