    I got 84, which seemed not bad looking at the stats after the quiz

    I have got seventy one... I solved the right column almost completely (it took some time to guess the right tranliteration for some post-soviet champions, and still failed to guess the proper one for Lyakovich) and filled most of the middle column (although I missed some lesser guys I knew, but never suspected of being "champs", like Nicholson or Nielsen).

    Anything which was pre-Ali was blank, with the exception of few obvious guesses like Marciano, Sullivan or Dempsey. I never pretended to be historian, so I guess it is acceptable score after all.

    a disappointing 80

    I missed some obvious ones like bowe and buster douglas and also got held up on the spelling of some. there were a lot more blanks in the modern day "champs" too.

    To be honest a lot of mine were just guesses, guys I could remember hearing were fighting for a title or who I just thought might have held some belt. I didn't actually know that a lot of them held titles at one stage.

    I got 90, and that was forgetting Patterson & Johansson:patsch

    Plus I couldn't spell some of the Russian names from memory.

    ...Lee Savold... that's a bit of a stretch

    ****, that was fun.

    75 :roll:

    took me forever to spell Liakhovich correct.

    Can't believe Danell Nicholson ever won the belt
