Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
What do these four have in common?
-
Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
I know for sure Arguello and Hopkins lost their first pro fight, so I'll guess the same for the other two as well.
-
Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
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.
-
Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
Hmm well that was too easy I guess.
-
Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
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.

ok i give up ;D
but what ever happen to alexis, was he ever found?
-
Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
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.

Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
Damn I knew this one. It was on CutMeMick's sigi.
Do another CGM

Lets make it light heavyweights from the same decade. ;D
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.

Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello
I don't know a lot of boxing trivia, but here goes...
Which famous musician released an album named after a heavyweight champion?

Re: Henry Armstrong, B-Hop, Wilfredo Vazquez and Alexis Arguello

What world champion boxer appeared in the ring with Robert deNiro in the movie Raging Bull. There may be more than one answer, I'm not sure.

Right you are on the Raging Bull Question. I'll leave the album question out there a while longer.

Yeah, the Album I was thinking about was titled Jack Johnson. The musician was Miles Davis, so I suppose Mos Def is not far off alphabetically. :)
