    I know the answer to most of these but can't be arsed typing them out. Hopefully, someone will answer about 13 of them and I can have a got at the other five. But people who attempt to answer Question 18 need to find something better to do.

    A few that were wrong:


    Hamed won a pro title at Bantam
    Andries went to Kronk
    Benn-Watson was called 'Who's Bad?"
    Hagler went 4-0 vs Brits
    Hearns beat Andries too
    Duran beat Jimmy Batten
    Dave Green was from Chatteris, where car and gun crime is very low, although there was a drive-by shouting once.

    Could be;) But I would concede there is a strong argument to say he was Canadian, but there still is a missing name...
