Trivia 3

[hhascup]

What Olympic boxer fought back to back future Professional World Champions? Name the boxer and what two future World Champions did he box?

[Bundana]

Sugar Ray Seales fought future champs Ayub Kalule and Marvin Hagler back to back.

(There are several such cases... so maybe I have misunderstood the question?)

ok, forget the above... I think I get, what you mean now!

[Bundana]

Tyrell Biggs fought Rid**** Bowe and Lennox Lewis (in back to back fights, actually!) before either won a world title - and since Lewis succeded Bowe as WBC title holder, I guess you can call them back to back world champions.

Is this what you are looking for?

No, BUT that was a good answer. The boxer I am looking for, fought 2 future world champions in consecutive bouts in the Olympic Games.

LOL... I seem to have misunderstood the question in every possible way! But if we are looking for fights that took place in Olympic competition, my answer will have to be:

Alexander Tkachenko... who, at light-flyweight, in the 1976 Games beat Eleoncio Mercedes in the first round of the competition, before losing to Payao Poontarat in the next.

[Bundana]

And there's also Arnoldo Pares... who fought both Vic Toweel and Jimmy Carruthers back to back in the 1948 Games.

Correct! Good Job.

[Bundana]

Correct! Good Job.

Thanks... and thanks for the trivia! Personally, I'd like to see more stuff like this in here.
