[hhascup]

Here's what I have so far:

(We go by records as they appear in BoxRec)
Kid Azteca 32 years from 1930-1961


4. Who was the most experienced world title challenger ever?

(Most fights under the belt, when challenging - not necessarily for the first time - for a world title)
Johnny Dundee 323

5. Which world champion had the longest streak of fights, that all ended inside the distance? >>
[B]John Mugabi 42

6. Which non-HOFer fought the most HOFers?
(IBHOF only!)
Johnny Risko 12 (Sharkey 2 Tunney 1 Schmeling 1 Baer 2 Berlenbach 1 Loughran 5 Slattery 1 Walker 3 JHLewis 1 Delaney 2 Stribling 2 Godfrey 1)

I don't know how, but somehow I edited in your post before, and couldn't remove it. Sorry about that.

Anyway, now that you name Johnny Dundee (the question doesn't say anything about excluding world champs) all your answers are now correct.

... BUT why have you changed your mind, and removed Stribling and Godfrey from your list of Risko's HOF-opponents???

What the H*** happened to posts #7 and #8?? Something strange is going on here!

Your right, something is wrong. Here's what I have so far. I am not sure about Marshall yet.

2. Who had at least one fight per year, for more consecutive years than any other boxer?
(We go by records as they appear in BoxRec)
Kid Azteca 32 years from 1930-1961

3. Who defeated the most world champions, without ever becoming one himself?
(Let's agree, that we count NWS wins as well as official wins - and that a world champion is a boxer, who is recognized as such by BoxRec)
Lloyd Marshall beat 9 (Overlin, Risko, Yarosz, Brouillard, Charles, Christoforidis, LaMotta, Maxim & Mills)

4. Who was the most experienced world title challenger ever?

You're right - about being unsure about Marshall! But I do believe, he's 2nd on the list.

I'm not sure what your looking for on #1.

1. Who had the most world title fights, without ever beating a world champion?
(And I mean without EVER defeating, in title bouts or non-title bouts, an opponent who - at one time or another - held a world title!)

Angel Robinson Garica fought 15 different World Champions and his record was 0-18-3 against them, BUT he never fought for a World Title.

Armando Muniz fought 6 different Champions and his record was 0-9 and he fought in 4 Title bouts.

Well, as you say, Garcia didn't have a single world title fight...so he is obviously not a candidate for this question.

Muniz lost 4 title fights, but beat world champ (recognized by BoxRec) Hedgemon Lewis in a non-title fight... so he's not a candidate either.

But even if we didn't recognize Lewis as world champ, Muniz is not the right answer. In other words, we're looking for a boxer who had more than 4 world title fights... without EVER defeating a man who, at one time or another, could call himself world champion.

He could be an unlucky challenger, with even more unsuccessful title shots than Muniz... or he could be a world champion, who had more than 4 title fights, but simply never defeated another world champion (not in title fights, and not in non-title fights either!).

Since no one has come up with an answer to questions 1 and 3 so far, I've put in a couple of clues.

The only one that I can think of right now is Memphis Pal Moore BUT I only come up with 9.

The other one I believe is Rodrigo Valdez

I can't do much research right now as I have to go the the NJ Golden Gloves today and I have to get all my paper work done.

You are absolutely right on both Moore and Valdez... and I DID make a mistake with Moore, when I said he had defeated 11 world champs!

I have just checked my notes, and I seem to have counted Johnny McCoy twice, so his total comes to only 10 (which I have now edited in my clue):

Joe Lynch
Johnny McCoy
Bud Taylor
Johnny Buff
Sammy Mandell
Jack (kid) Wolfe
Eugene Criqui
Pete Herman
Jimmy Wilde
Kid Williams

Anyway, we now have correct answers to all the questions... and, needless to say, you did a great job. As always! Thanks also to DeepSleep, BattlingNelson and trevahhh for participating.
