I only managed 76.....I was sure that Peter Jackson was called the "Barbados Demon"....{turns out to be that short fella, the original Joe Walcott} and I didnt know Earnie Shavers had a nickname.... Ironically, I simply could not remember Taylors, Williams or Margaritos nick names, but I knew who the Non-Pareil was.
got a 95 in the P4P list...i typed in Israel Vasquez but it would not give me credit for it....and i miss 3 other fighters...Mosley, Jones conquerors and another smaller Johnson
99 of 100 Only one I didn´t get was #10 in 99. I could have guessed that one forever. :: 48 of 100 on the nicknames. Damn that was so bad, I think I might need a brain scan. I couldn´t come up with anything. I missed guys like Holyfield, Taylor, Margarito, Nelson, Dempsey, Bowe, Chacon, Camacho, Quartey and Toney. And I thought Ward´s nickname was S.O.B.::
95/98 on the pfp and it would have been 96 if it accepted my spelling of Corrales. Also..how the f&&K Margarito ever cracked that ass is beyond me.
REED Missed Out on Stevie Johnston & Antonio Margarito...REED NEVER Would've Guessed Johnston but SHOULD have Gotten Margarito... REED:doh:
REED was DISAPPOINTED by Some of the Nicknames he DIDN'T Get, but Not Suprised by Others...Here's the List... Gene Tunney Kid Gavilan Jimmy Wilde Benny Leonard Jack Dempsey (Coulda Sworn it was the "Manassa Mauler":dunno:) Peter Jackson Ezzard Charles Ruben Olivares Earnie Shavers Elmer Ray (NEVER EVER Heard of this Guy...EVER!!!::) Joe Gans Harry Wills Bobby Chacon Henry Armstrong (Coulda Sworn it was "Hammerin Hank":doh:) Julian Jackson (CRIMINAL Exclusion on REED's Behalf) Miguel Canto Jose Napoles (Curtis Cokes would B ASHAMED of REED for Missing this 1) Joe Brown Jack Johnson (TOTALLY Unaware that he Even HAD a Nickname) Mickey Walker REED:hammert:
I got 97 out of a hundred. After nearly completing it, there were still a fair few boxes left off, and I was thinking, who the fuck have I forgotten? It turned out to be Tito :: Goes to show how little I think of him, I can barely remember him :kidcool: The 2 fighters I forgot were Space Monkey and Ricardo Lopez. I also got Mark Johnson by chance, I wouldn't have guessed him.
Reed, I distinctly remember you and I having a conversation about the whole Manny Pac weight divisions thing, and I referred to Homicide Hank, who you immediately referred back to as Henry Armstrong!!!!! "Homicide" should have stuck in your head from 2 days ago. And I never heard of Elmer Gantry either...I tried "FUDD" for his nick name but...no dice!
On pfp? No, I got him.....but I did not get Margarito, how the fuck he ever made pfp is beyond me, he never won 2 or more titles and he was never dominant at the one weight...yet apparently he made the list.:warning: It must have been just that 6 month period from when he "beat" Cotto and lost to Shane. Unless 6-Heads, Clottey and Cintron are just that good.::
Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year http://www.sporcle.com/games/MarloStanfield/ringmagazinefighteroftheyear Hints for the lesser known fighters, no hints for the easy or more recent ones.
67 out of 86 but thats with 2 or 3 which it wouldnt take for spelling. I knew who the Astoria Assasin was....but I didnt see the hint! Damn!
68 of 86....WOULDN'T Accept the Spelling of "Ingemar Johansson"...REED Used 2 "a's" in his Spelling:shit:...For Some Reason, REED DIDN'T Get Credit for DUAL Winners, even when he Typed in BOTH Names Individually... REED Knows for a FACT that he Typed "Barney Ross, Muhammmad Ali, Carlos Monzon & Marvin Hagler" in the Search Field....In the Case of Ali & Hagler, REED RECEIVED Credit for the Years they Won INDIVIDUALLY, but ZERO Credit for when they SHARED the Honor w/Others....Also, REED Got NATHAN @ All for when he Typed in Ross & Monzon... Loooooooooooong, WHINY Ass Story Short, REED SHOULD have Gotten a 70 @ the VERY LEAST... REED:hammert:
Sometimes when the clock is running down, I just bang in names to see what happen. In one instance, I was pleasantly surprised to see Ricky Hatton had made fighter of the year for 2005. How did George Foreman get FOTY for 1976?
67 of 86. Willie Pep is truly a defensive mastermind. He always slipped my mind. All I kept thinking was, who was the guy Sandy Saddler was beating all the time. And seriously Paulie was the FOTY. :laughing:
i got 96 on the p4p one, I can't believe I forgot vernon forrest. missed Ricardo Lopez :doh: and mark johnson, who I'd have never come up with
Fight Game Magazine {Bert Sugars now thankfully defunct rag} did a piece called "Boxings Capitol Gains" on all of the DC fighters who were making a name for themselves in the late 90's, early 00's....Sharmba Mitchell, Keith Holmes and Mark Johnson were amongst those featured.
