Guess the fighter by their overall combined opponents' W-L-D records.

Also a classic example of triangle theory debunking with him/Wangek/Chocolatito.

 

Guessed correctly so far: 5/12 (including all of the Original Three, plus two Lightning Rounds)

1) Floyd Mayweather Jr. (guessed by DanielDimov)
2) Beibut Shumenov (guessed by Bukkake)
3) Kostya Tszyu (guessed by Rock0052)
4) Oswaldo Novoa (guessed by Chuck Norris) [Lightning Round #1]
12) Akira Yaegashi (guessed by Nonito Smoak) [Lightning Round #9]

LR#2-8 still up for grabs.

 

Bukkake is 2 for 2!!!!!!

 

Lightning Round correct guesses, in sequence (not in order guessed):

Novoa last fought in May, punctuating a three-year 0-4-2 skid with an SD loss. His career total is 14-8-3, a line unusual in appearance for a title holder.

Anthony Mundine is the son of 70's middleweight and light heavyweight contender Tony Mundine. He only fought in four amateur bouts, prior to switching his focus to rugby (achieving his initial fame in that sport before transitioning into a return to boxing, in the pros) and has eight professional defeats to date. His entire career until 2017 was actually on PPV, accordant with his preexisting celebrity from rugby. His last fight, against Tommy Browne, was free-to-air. Mundine has campaigned from 154lb through Cruiser. He defeated future HOF lock Shane Mosley by TKO due to an injury. He is the second aboriginal world boxing champion; the first was Lionel Rose and the most recent was Daniel Geale.

Yaegashi has never fought outside Japan. He began at straw and has campaigned (briefly) as high as super fly, picking up titles at minimum/light fly and flyweight. He knocked out current WBC 115lb champion Wisaksel Wangek aka Srisaket Sor Rungvisai in what is reported to have been either been Wangek's pro debut or twelfth pro bout, depending on whom you ask.

So, remember, 1 of the first 6 had never worn the WBC green. That was Shumenov. Mayweather, Tszyu, and Novoa all had that famously colored strap in their careers, and so did 5) ??? and 6) ???

 

Going to be changing up the format slightly for the next few Lightning Round submissions...

They'll be coming in pairs, with minimal clues except that each share a particular commonality. (you will be told what exactly the pairs have in common, but it will vary)

Good luck!

 

Lightning Round #10

13) 770-300-41

...good for a roughly ~69% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~73% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

14) 541-307-20

...good for a roughly ~62% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~65% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

Clue: 13 & 14 share the exact same ring name. They have also shared the exact same hairstyle for essentially their entire careers.

 

Lightning Round #11

15) 387-86-16

...good for a roughly ~79% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~82% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

16) 837-260-33

...good for a roughly ~74% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~77% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

Clue: 15 & 16 share the exact same ring name (give or take a non-phonetic alteration in spelling, a letter or two's difference). They were also born in the same no-longer-extant nation, two years apart.

 

Lightning Round #12

17) 284-167-6

...good for a roughly ~62% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~63% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

18) 146-105-12

...good for a roughly ~55% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~60% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

Clue: 17 & 18 share the exact same ring name. They also both debuted in this decade. Bonus hint: they both have diacritics in their names.

 

Lightning Round #13

19) 311-273-32

...good for a roughly ~50% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~56% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

20) 1179-238-38

...good for a roughly ~81% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~84% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

Clue: 19 & 20 share the exact same ring name. They also both originally hail from the same country, which achieved independence during the last century.

 

Lightning Rounds #10 and #13 should be "gettable" for pretty much anybody that follows boxing closely enough to be on a forum. These are well known entities, all four names.

LR#11 & 12 are going to be far more challenging for a more casual viewer, especially the latter. The names in LR#11 have at least each headlined RBR threads, while I'm pretty sure those in LR#12 have not (although they've had their fights called in RBR threads, and have generally been on televised cards)

 

Lightning Round #14

21) 211-67-8

...good for a roughly ~73% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~77% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

22) 794-664-59

...good for a roughly ~52% winning percentage, in aggregate - or a ~56% non-defeat percentage (including draws).

Clue: 21 & 22 share the exact same ring name. Both also hail from places you would not want to vacation, as they are literally (off and on) war-zones.
