This is a fun thread...first two stumped me to be honset with you...got the third one. Fourth one has me stumped again...damn.
I am not a hall of famer, but I've defeated a couple members. I am most famous for going 2-1-2 against one well known hall of famer. You can tell a certain "tough man" that I am the " real king..." Who was I?
I was afraid if I said too much, I would make it too easy. Butterbean has been referred to as the King of the 4 rounders. The person I mentioned actually beat top notch oppenents in 4 round decisions.
I was a middleweight champion, and a fairly good one at that. I defeated a few all time great fighters, and am nicknamed after a natural phenomenon. In the last 2 fights of my career, I was eaten alive by a man with a big cat's name. Who am I ?
I was thinking Harry Greb. But then a 'windmill' isn't a natural phenomenon, and Greb's losses to Tiger Flowers weren't the last two fights of his career (they were the last and fourth from last). Got it - Gene Fullmer. You know what threw me? Your avatar. I thought you were Janitor and automatically assumed you'd be talking of a pre-'30s fighter.
I am an ESB poster, who likes classical fighters. Mr. Magoo has nabbed one of my former avators. Who am I???
Here's a good one: I met a total of seven Hall of Famers. I fought below the lightweight limit my whole professional career. I beat Babe Ruth, Abe Goldstein and Tommy Ryan. Any takers?
