    Pencils down...






    ...and the answer is:

    Eleven!

    Lorenzo Canady
    Robert Colay
    Pinklon Thomas
    Tyrell Biggs
    Tony Tubbs
    Bruce Seldon
    Conroy Nelson
    Evander Holyfield
    Jesse Ferguson
    Buster Mathis Jr.
    Andrew Golota

    That's a good few more than I originally thought when it occurred to me to look into it...my initial guess was like half of that. A mild surprise, and the inspiration for this little diversion. Thanks for playing. :good

    Kudos to Unforgiven, who was the first to get it.

    I intially got Holyfield, Golota, Tubbs, Biggs and Seldon. Then looked at Bowe's record, trying to remember Tyson's and got Ferguson, Thomas, Canady. Then looked at Tyson's just to get the answers and realised I missed Mathis Jr. Completely missed Nelson and Colay even when looking at them both side by side. :lol:

    It was a pain in the ass to do thoroughly, let me tell you. :yep

    Almost twenty minutes of utilizing the ctrl+f Firefox page search button, copying each name from the bottom up on Bowe's and plugging it in to search Tyson's, then jotting down each positive hit. By naked eye alone, it would have taken forever (and with my ADD it may have not even panned out right!)

    Hope you guys enjoyed it.

    Would people be interested in further quizzes like this one? Being off my feet with an injury for the summer, there's plenty of free time. As long as there's interest (and people seem to be abiding the honor system) I'll keep them coming.

    That sounds great IB but people checking boxrec and **** kinda defeats the purpose of asking questions. I cant understand how guys can claim to get a question right after checking out other sites, no offenence intended to anyone who does it. For me, theres nothing better than trying to get an answer right from memory, even if it takes hours
