Non-HOFers who fought at least 10 HOFers (IBHOF only).

How many can you name?

 

Johnny Risko fought 12 (Sharkey 2 Tunney 1 Schmeling 1 Baer 2 Berlenbach 1 Loughran 5 Slattery 1 Walker 3 JHLewis 1 Delaney 2 Stribling 2 Godfrey 1)

 

One down - 6 to go!
(that I know of - I have probably missed a couple)

 

Buk...you snubbed the WBHOF, man. :shock:

 

Yeah, I know - but it gets a bit confusing if we consider boxers from both Halls. Also, when we talk about HOFers in this forum, I believe it is more or less understood, that we mean IBHOF.

 

I will do some research when I get home later on tonight. It's too hot to do it now.

Gunboat Smith, Charley White and Fireman Jim Flynn are 3 others

 

Jack (Twin) Sullivan is another one, that makes 5, two more to go.

 

I would assume Memphis Pal Moore qualifies. He had to have fought at least 10.

 

He most certainly does... as he fought exactly 10 HOFers.

With Moore and hh's 5, there's only one left that I can think of.

 

Frankie Wallace

 

Exactly!

Those are the 7 I was looking for. Well done hh and El Bujia.

 

I found another one that fought 10 HOF boxers, although he never beat any of them, he did box a draw with one, who is he?

 

So there's another "10"? I have no idea who that is - but I look forward to finding out (when you tell us, as it doesn't seem like anyone in here is coming up with an answer!)

 

I'll be going to church in a little while, so I'll give you another hint. If you still don't get it by the time I get back, I will give you the answer.

Hint: He fought from the late teens to the early 1930's.

Hint: If you count all his wins and losses, including the Newspaper Decisions, he had exactly half as many wins as he did losses.

 

Some very good hints - and the answer is Joe Lohman.
