    I had 71, pretty ok i guess. But ****, after i clicked give up, and it showed the ones i'd left out, i thought **** i shoulda remembered at least half of those. Memory is a weird mechanism.

    67.

    Harder than i thought it would be. Mind went blank after 15 minutes or so and i forgot a couple of the easy ones which would of put me at 71.

    Good way to pass the time though.

    Cheers :good

    I only got 47.


    I got a lot of the older fighters right like Jack Johnson, Tony Zale and Joe Brown. But amongst many others I missed Thomas Hearns, Ronald Wright, Andre Ward, Gerald McClellan and even Pacquiao (seriously! WTF?!)

    Even though I pay very little attention to nicknames, I'm still embarassed.
