Just bought a new--new to me--book.
Who do these records belong to?
I knew two of these, that means they're easy.
49-0
51-0-1
26-0-1
How about these, I knew one.
9-94-1
5-63 Every loss by KO.
13-85-3
17-120-5
66-276-17
13-166-6
Boxing's Most Wanted: the top ten book of champs, chumps, and punch drunk palookas
Written by David L. Hudson, Jr., & Mike Fitzgerald, Jr.
If you don't have it, get it. The book is fun, informative and inexpensive.
49-0 is Marciano. I don't know any of the losing ones. I ight know the others but I'm still thinking.
Is 51-0-1 Ricardo Lopez?
You're right about Marciano. Get the book and help me stump/enlighten these guys.Quote:

How about Eric Crumble. 0 for 31 and knocked out 31 times and his last name is Crumble;D
You would be surprised, the book said a couple of these guys could have had excellent records but found it easier to grow into a bigger weight class every year or figured out early on that they could make money by fighting steadily instead of wasting time training.Quote:

I wanna say Virgil Holly (James Holly) as I have my own boxing book and I've seen this, only Holly is 5(3)-55-0 not 5-63-0.Quote:
