Attorney General Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Alright gentlemen. I suppose it's been awhile since we've had a trivia topic around here. I know, I know...these types of topics often become spam-central. So lets try to be civil...and of course refrain from using the search engines. OK, back to business...ask any sports related question. From cricket to hockey, from football to boxing...any sport, any era...the more challenging the better. A few quick ground rules... •Googling answers is strictly prohibited. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the GTAF law. Tank is your judge, jury and executioner. And word is...he can be adjudicating. •Wait for the poster of the question to confirm your answer unless you are 1000% sure of it's validity. If you're certain that you're correct...fire away. •If the poster of the question doesn't respond within a reasonable amount of time...it's an open mic...feel free to ask another question. •If a question isn't answered correctly, or at all, within a day of so of it being asked...it's an open question. OK...here we go...there is only one man in the history of boxing to hold one WORLD title in each of the three different weight classes he campaigned in. He held these titles concurrently. Who is this man?

AndyGanteks Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Alright gentlemen. I suppose it's been awhile since we've had a trivia topic around here. I know, I know...these types of topics often become spam-central. I'm well aware that papanesta had to shut down a few similar topics in the TV/Movie forum due to spam and cheating. So lets be civil...and refrain from using the search engines. But, back to business...ask any sports related question. From cricket to hockey, from football to boxing...any sport, any era...the more challenging the better. A few quick ground rules... •Googling answers is strictly prohibited. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the GTAF law. Tank is your judge, jury and executioner. Word on the street is...he certainly can be adjudicating.•Wait for the poster of the question to confirm your answer unless you are 1000% sure of it's validity. If you're certain that you're correct...fire away. •If the poster of the question doesn't respond within 24 hours of his post...it's an open mic...feel free to ask another question. •If a question isn't answered correctly, or at all, within 24 hours of it being asked...it's an open mic...next question. OK...here we go...there is only one man in the history of boxing to hold one WORLD title in each of the three different weight classes he campaigned in. He held these titles concurrently. Who is this man? Oscar de La Hoya maybe? I dont know,not good at boxing just guessing. You should pinn it!

Attorney General Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think the guy's last name was Armstrong. You, my smug friend, are correct. It was Henry Armstrong who held the featherwieght(126 lbs), lightweight(135 lbs) and welterweight(147 lbs) belts concurrently. He would've held the middleweight belt along with the other three if it weren't for a dubious decision against Ceferino Garcia. This is an unparalleled feat in the sport...and it'll certainly never be equaled in this day and age.

Attorney General Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Ding, ding. It was Ruud van Nistelrooy that led the league with 25 goals in the 02/03 season.

Alright, from 1995 to 1998, there was a national league catcher who won four consecutive golden gloves. Who is he?

nealmac Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I'll have a stab at Alan Gordon. Actually, I'm fairly sure that's right. If correct, I'll pass on asking a question. I have to go out.

I have to go out. Is someone gonna keep scores? My fault...busy week. They're now kept in the first post. Who is the all time leading goal scorer of the A-League? I'll wait for confirmation from Stefan to award a point...as I don't know which A-League we're talking about...or if Alan Gordon is the leading scorer. For now let's stick with TDP's question... When Peyton Manning threw his 49th touchdown in a season to break Dan Marino record, who caught the touchdown and who were they playing against? I'm pretty sure it was Stokely who caught it.
