You know the George Foreman Grill was almost the Hulk Hogan Grill. It was first brought up to Hogan by his agent and Hogan turned the offer to put his name on it down. When Hulk turned it down, his agent who was also Foreman's agent went to George and he jumped at it. Good for Foreman though Hogan has plenty of money it's good to see a fighter get some extra for his pockets. And by extra for his pockets I mean millions upon millions of dollars.
Brian Mitchell retired a champion too, IBF super feather. Didn't know that. Was thinking about a kind of different trivia question with him but didn't work out.
It's Arguello, I remember from before
I liked Mitchell,one of those guys you look at in hindsight.Nothing eye popping and glaring but a solid all around thinking fighter.Took alot of malice on the political front with Countries policies.Was there ever another Champ that did not defend there title in there hometown...let alone there home Country .
That's kind of the type of question I was thinking of but it was just too hard to figure out if he was the only one.
You got it Spicoli...
Alexis it is, It always amazes me that he never lost his titles in a fight after wining them. He won the WBA Feather title and didn't loose it he dropped it and moved up to Sup. Feather and won the WBC title and didn't loose it he dropped it and moved up to Lightweight he won the WBC title and didn't loose it he dropped it and moved up to Light Welter and lost as a challenger to Aaron twice.
Arguello lost to Marcel for a title fight in the Feather Div. he also lost in between to Vilomar but it was a non-title bout so in essence he never lost a title after he won it.
Henry Wallitsch
We call him Henny at Ring 8 and he told me that it really didn't happened the way they say. I contacted the people in the following web site and this is the results. Henny was very happy about this.
