Re: Boxing Trivia (What only Hardcore fans know)
I'd also guess that the Mexican greats, Barrera, Marquez and morales, must have won in four weight classes or at least very close to it, I'd have to look it up though.

Arce for sure, good vid, one who goes under the radar most often. Donaire too and I think Macho Camacho came up short at welter at the hand(s) of Trinidad.

Boom and boom on Marquez and Morales. Barrera off by one but always crazy to remember he turned pro at flyweight at 15 friggin years old!

Yeah, you're right. I don't know why I thought his 2nd fight with Duran was a title fight. Probably just remembered the announcer saying championship boxing, not for a championship.

Ring magazine 1980 stated: Ortiz next fight was with a Milton Owens 26-1 in a clinch, Owen bit Ortiz. Ortiz bit him back- but the ref let the fight continue. The best biter won Milton Owens
I was going back through time and I noticed your mention of biters and I thought I should add Ossie Ocasio(Jaws}. It was a fun catch and reminder there's always more fun on the realm. He also fought Larry Holmes but his teeth was kept in check that evening on Wide World of sports.

How Demarcus Corley became "chop-chop"
Manny Stewart stated in the amateurs the poor kid would gobble his meal down causing instant weight gain, so Manny stated they had to tell him Marcus, chew your food. chop it up, then chew it!
If that's so, what a funny means about getting a nickname!

Yes Brendan Ingle once said to Jonny Nelson , think of something you will never be and chose it as your nickname.
Hence - Jonny "The Entertainer " Nelson.

Jackie Frazier played basketball before boxing and was One of AU’s top all-time scorer. Their first female basketball player to reach the 1,000-points and ranked 12th on AU’s all-time scoring list with 1,106 points.
She averaged 12.7 points per game in her career and registered 72 steals during the 1981-82 season, which was second-best ever at AU at the time.
https://aueagles.com/sports/2019/8/15/x-evurg.aspx
Haven't found any footage yet.
And how she got her nickname? She invited Ali to speak at a youth center, to which he obliged. As soon as Jackie introduced herself, she said Ali stood in silence for a moment, smiled and said, WOW, Sister Smoke!
Laila Ali's daddy gave Jackie her boxing name!O0

Ok I'm full of shat you got it. Good call man ;D
