Just had a crack at this on sporcle, managed a poor 89, missed some obvious "titleholders" of the last 20 years or so

Good fun, Managed 90. Basically my missing answers got more prevalent the further back in time I went and clustered around certain periods

I got a pretty poo 71, I was on a conference call during this time so that's the excuse I'm sticking with.

I missed out some really obvious ones though, Marciano being the worst!

I take solace in that each era was well represented in my list, with no major gaps. I should have got the easier recent beltholders like Chagaev and Valuev though, easy points. :-(

Ah, I got Moorer.

The method I should have used is trying to trace the title when it changed hands rather than just come up with names without using any proper method.

I got 114 the 80s and the recent funny Russian sounding ones all fucked me up. I was a lot lower but then in the last few mins the 80s crowd all came back to me. I thought the really old ones would be hardest but its the 80s onwards. Some real bums had the title.

 

[Chatty]

Done this before and got 118, I'll do it agin and see if I can remember the 8 that stumped me last time around

 

[Chatty]

121 this time

Spoiler

I think the older ones are easier because you're only dealing with the Heavyweight champion, once you get to the most recent decades you're having to deal with alphabet titlists which can be easy to forget, the only saving grace with that is that atleast they're more recent so that counterbalances it somewhat.

Can't believe that I'm the worst at this.

 

[Lilo]

I didn't name any of the IBO ones out of principle :bart

 

[Lunny]

All 126, but I kept doing it until I memorised it a couple of years ago.

It's a piece of piss to do it in order until you get to the 80s, then it starts becoming a cluster fuck.

 

[moon]

75, missed Holyfield FFS, and Bruno but remembered Hide.

 

[adamcanavan]

102, I'm impressed with myself. Did especially well with recent ones, history's
Not my strong point

 

[ScouseLeader]

105, I take greatest pride in getting Michael Bentt, didn't miss out any obvious ones in fact I do think the ones I didn't get were pretty tough/obscure.

Like I never knew fucking Danell Nicholson was a 'Heavyweight champion', was he the guy Steward trained? I swear he didn't win a proper title.
