Ali was in contention until his final two fights, both losses.

 

Johansson won the famed Hickok Belt in 1959. Who was the last to win the award in its first run (1976)?

EDIT: I looked it up and I see there six, and none of my three are on there.

 

I’ll guess Jenner?

 

No, someone no longer with us.

 

the final three are Jagr, Crosby and Glenn Anderson.

Detroit's Jamaal Williams will wind up as the NFL's rushing touchdown leader, and has also sneaked past the 1,000-yard mark tonight which will keep him out of a fairly unique fraternity of running backs.
Since the NFL went to the 16-game (and now 17-game) schedule in 1978 — and excluding the 1982 strike-shortened season — only six running backs have led the league in rushing touchdowns (or tied for the lead) without also rushing for at least 1,000 yards. How many can you name?

Also, a semi-hint: Two of them did it in the same year. They tied for the TD title and neither had 1,000 yards.

 

Muhammad Ali?

 

Was Gerald Riggs one?
