Sports Trivia Question (not as Easy as it Sounds)
Edited on Fri Jul-30-04 01:54 PM by ribofunk
As you know, different boxing associations (like the WBA) recognize different champions. As a result, there are currently THREE professional heavyweight boxing champions.

Name one.

I'll post the answer at 3:00PM.

1. Do you know where the "Boxing Hall of Fame" is ?

Not a boxing fan, but I did see this place recently.

Cheers

2. No, I Don't, Please Share Your Experience
What was it like? I'm not a huge boxing fan, but I like a good title fight once in awhile.

3. I'll give it a shot :)
I believe V. Klitschko has the WBC belt, but I'm not certain who holds the WBO or the IBF belts....Although did Roy Jones Jr drop the title he won from Ruiz when he dropped back down to Lt Hwyweight?

6. Yes, Vitali Klitscho is One
And Roy Jones is not. You ARE a boxing fan.

10. COOOL!!!
I was right about something for once!

Although I do think Klitscho is rather overrated, he did do a hell of a job against Lewis awhile back.

Now Arturo Gatti? That's a fighter! Did you see his 2nd round body shot knockout of Dorin?? Wow. Even my non fight liking wife was impressed by that.

12. If you get the chance...
See if you can find video of the three fights Gatti had with Mickey Ward. They were, IMHO, the finest boxing exhibitions you will ever see :)
