Hi. The word 'heavyweight' is causing a problem. However, in the 'middleweight' division, Alan Minter achieved that professional record - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Minter

Thanks for that. The question is in a quiz so I can't say if it should be Middleweight or Heavy.The quiz sheet definetly states Heavyweight, but another question wants the name of a darts player with nickname Angles, Oh dear!! Snooker methinks! so maybe the boxing question is another ''Whoops Done it again!! thanks anyway.

Your Angles query does seem to lean towrds Snooker. Alan McManus is known by this nickname. Here is a confirmation link http://www.sportinglife.com/snooker/season01-02/pr ofiles/amcmanus/

If there's one mistake in the quiz regarding snooker and darts, there could be another regarding the fighter's record.

Rocky Marciano had a professional record of 49 wins from 49 fights.
