Thread: Guess the Boxer...

Here is a game for you all, it's called 'Guess the Boxer'. I've done this here before many years ago and got a good response, so I'll get it going again.

About the game -
I will post a distorted image of a boxer and you have to guess who it is. I will give clues at various times if you are finding it difficult to guess. Use the likes of Google image search to help if you want, it can help to search for images with matching features or to search for matching images of boxers you feel could be the answer.

The rules are -
Only 1 guess per post.
If you guess, you must wait for someone else to guess before you can guess again.
Anyone who guesses right will get rep from me (and hopefully others too... come on, give yourselves a worthy prize to fight for. )

---------------------------

Here is the first image:


Clue:
One of the greats.

Looks like Muhammad Ali but i know it isn't, because of the way he's holding his hands. Muhammad Ali never held his hands like that, it could also be Julian Jackson or Mike Tyson. I'll go with Mike Tyson.

Not Mike Tyson, hard luck. You can have another go after someone else has a guess...

Larry holmes ?

Beat me to it, I was thinking Larry Holmes..

As you've already claimed that...I'll use Joe Louis as my 2nd guess (but I think it's Larry Holmes)

looks like he has a goatee, tall... Tommy the hitman?

Not Holmes, not Louis...
I will say, the stance of the fighter is not clear in this picture as he was throwing a punch when it was taken, so try not to read too much into the pose.

Not Hearns either, but getting closer with the weight.

Ali....

No, but your guess is closer to the weight of the mystery boxer.
