3. Prior to Mike Tyson, who was the youngest Heavyweight Champion of the World? Spinks

4. What do they have in common? All Olympic Gold Medalists

5. Prior to George Foreman, who was the oldest boxer to win the Heavyweight title? Probably Ali

6. Which Light Heavyweight great battled future Hall of Fame entrants, Ezzard Charles, Joey Maxim, Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson and Muhammad Ali amongst others? Would have said Archie Moore, but didn't think he fought Ali

7. Which two Heavyweights contested boxing's first million dollar gate? Joe Louis/Schmelling

8. Which Boxing Legends competed against each other 6 times, including the famed St. Valentine's Day Massacre?

Tunney/Dempsey

9. A shock knocked down of the reigning Heavyweight Champion led to this World Middleweight Champion leaving some of his teeth imbedded in his opponents glove. Not a scoobey

10. Who was Boxing's first world champion in three weight categories? Hank Armstrong (and that was when there were only 8 weight categories - bloody amazing)

11. Which boxer held titles in 3 weights simultaneously? Sugar Ray Leonard ( if not him then Hearhs or Roy Jones)

12. Who was the longest reigning World Heavyweight Champion?
Joe Louis (unless Klitscko nipped it but I don't think he did (Louis was undisputed as well where as Klitscko wasn't for some of his reign)


And I didn't reference anything all from memory, hence probably lots of spelling mistakes. Great quiz!
