Geezus hhascup, that's some tough trivia, if nobody gets it, you might have to give us a clue.

I didn't think it was that tough!

My guy fought this guy a total of 5 times, winning 4 of them. He won the vacant World Title when he beat this guy by a 15 round decision in the last time they met.

My guy is in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Sorry man, i'm drawing a blank, as long as i've been watching boxing, I should know this, but I don't. Leave it up for a while and maybe someone else will get it.

Patterson defeated Liston in 1955 in a street brawl in Cincinnati, Ohio. Liston would later go on to smack that bitch's ass for what he did to him 8 years earlier.

Still no one!

Here's the hints so far.

1. Former World Champion
2. He is in the International Boxing Hall of Fame
3. He fought this guy 5 times, winning 4 of them

NEW HINTS:
1. His 1st defeat was against this same fighter
2. He held the World Title for more then 2-1/2 years
3. He has something in common with Ray Robinson, Lennox Lewis, Jack Johnson, Abe Attell, Sandy Sandler, Alexis Arguello, Joe Jeannette and even Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds and myself, Henry Hascup.

The raging bull , has to be

but you say he beat SRR 4 out of 5. Other way round

No, it's not Jake! Jake fought Robinson 6 times!

My guy was a little lighter

Another hint:
My guy was born a week before Joe Louis won the Heavyweight Title.

Curtis Cokes

"3. He has something in common with Ray Robinson, Lennox Lewis, Jack Johnson, Abe Attell, Sandy Sandler, Alexis Arguello, Joe Jeannette and even Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonds and myself, Henry Hascup."

That gave it away.

Yes, Curtis Cokes 1st Pro bout was against Manuel Gonzalez, then 8-1/2 years later he beat him again for the vacant WBA World welterweight title.
