Thread: 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.

Hmm well that was too easy I guess.

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.

the first to win titles in 3 different division since armstrong? nearly the first to win in 4 division, if aaron hadn't cheated?

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.

ok i give up

but what ever happen to alexis, was he ever found?

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.

Damn I knew this one. It was on CutMeMick's sigi.

Do another CGM

i got one, name three fighters that changed they're name to a muslim name?

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.
