    (I would like to try a trivia question)

    I am one of the most famous fighters of the 20th century. Everyone on this board knows who I am.

    I was also an actor.

    In one of my movies I appeared with the scariest vampire of them all.

    Who am I?

    I don't know, but your question made me remember Wilbert Johnson.

    I got no responses which might mean no one is interested or it is just too tough. I will figure it is the latter and give you a clue.

    The fighter was a heavyweight champion.

    The actor who played a vampire in his most famous role was later himself portrayed in a movie.

    John Conteh and Christopher Lee were both on a Wings album cover, but not on screen.

    Was the vampire Bela Lugosi? I can't think of one of his films with a boxing champion in it... :huh

    The Kurgan--I wasn't thinking of Conteh.

    It is too early to just say who the actor was. I will wait and see if someone can figure this out on their own.

    I'm sure he made a film with Abbot and Costello. Or was that Joe Louis?
