I did know him myself. It took a while but I remembered reading about that from boxing historics. I spent my best teen years studying heavyeight history at home, now it finally is paying off:::kidcool:
What is wikipedia yields? Seriously, I did know them. Now make a similar game of middleweights, lt- heavyweights or whatever and you will beat me like Tyson did to Marvis Frazier.
Interesting... Scroll down to 14th November 1992 and there is the little known "Pinkon" Thomas listed as IBO champion. This counts as a seperate entry to the more famous Pinklon Thomas who was WBC champion in 1984. I guess a lot of you high-scoring guys gave yourselves a pass on that one. ::
When you type Spinks for example, it fills both Leon's and Michael's slots. I guess when you wrote Thomas that one also was covered, I didn't even notice such
:: I didn't realise you could just type in the last names. I scored 80 typing in shit like John L sullivan, James J Jeffries etc. No wonder I seemed to run out of time so quickly.
i knew savold because i remember reading that the BBBofC has him as their World Champion and a match was arranged with a comebacking louis, who knocked the shit out of him.
REED STILL Feels like SHIT that he DIDN'T Get @ Least 100...All this WASTED Boxing Knowledge & the one, THE ONE Time it Actually Paid Off to Have it, REED CHOKED...Missing John L. Sullivan, Floyd Patterson & Ingemar Johaanson is CRIMINAL... REED:doh:
Don't be too hard on yourself. After all, they all fought before 1986. And as we all know, that is the year boxing was invented.
Man, did he ever! Savold made the mistake of hooking with a hooker, and that left hook that Joe hit him with right on the button and Lee falling to the floor taking the count was a thing of beauty. **For you historians: That bout is chronicled in "The Sweet Science" by A.J. Liebling, the greatest boxing book ever, and if you don't own a copy already, you owe it to yourself to pick one up.******
