Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 28, 2018 2 hours ago, RoverAndOut said: Depends on your definition. I found 12 who qualified over 75 and 5 who were 80+. Not too many heavyweights mind... Yeah that was interesting but I suppose not unexpected. Flyweights hit softer than heavyweights, so long term punishment less I suppose. The lighter the weight class the more 70+ there were Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well this was always going to be a difficult one for me to adjudicate on as Abu Hamza could count on his fingers the number of boxing matches I have watched. Both had subs so looking at the category description I did say world so subs will come into play. I will edit the above post. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uniques everywhere, but then I do pick the ones who live (see every pool I've entered). I'm rather disappointed Fixed Business stole my Bob Newhart unique...and why didn't I pick Morricone?

Good spot and kudos for being honest as the day is long. I think I added them to the masterlist and did the verification and forgot to remove. Will edit out.

Death Impends 7,986 Posted March 1, 2018 Surprised Kretzmer is unique, thought he'd be a likely gcreptile pick since he was on his B Team last year. Also nice to see William Phipps (just barely qualified for the category, but I recall it being mentioned here he had health issues) and Jim Lovell (I had to go for the astronaut that fit the criteria!) uniques. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
