    Default Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello

    What do these four have in common?

    I know for sure Arguello and Hopkins lost their first pro fight, so I'll guess the same for the other two as well.

    Yeah I always think of the opening loss when I see Hopkins mentioned in a question like this. That is the answer by the way.

    Yeah it was kind of easy. Here's another, probably also easy

    Name one thing that Alexis Arguello has accomplished in the ring, that no other boxer has accomplished. Be careful how you word your answer.

    that may be true, I don't know. that wasn't what I had in mind. But you are on the right track, sort of.

    the only fighter to ever fight right after an assisination attempt on his own life? that must be it right? that was before the aaron fight.

    never heard about the assasination attempt. But he is the only boxer who has won titles in three or more weight divisions, all by defeating a reigning champion in the ring, and who has never lost a title defence. Even Floyd can't claim that.

    Lets make it light heavyweights from the same decade.

    Matthew Saad Muhammed (Matt Franklin)
    Eddie Mustapha Muhammed (Eddie Gregory )
    Dwight Muhammed Qawi ( Dwight Braxton )

    by the way. I worded my Arguello answer wrong. You have to add that each title was defended at least once.
