Boxing "Kevin Bacon" game

A while back someone posted this idea. Try to connect two boxers from different weight classes and eras by using their opposition to create a chain from one to the other.

For example:

Emile Griffith to Mike Tyson

Emile Griffith to Hurricane Carter to Jimmy Eliis to Muhammad Ali to Larry Holmes to Mike Tyson

Let's see who can make this connection in the least amount of steps:

Kid Chocolate to Wlad Klitschko

 

REED Somewhat Recalls this Concept...If Not Mistaken, Somebody SUCCESSFULLY Linked the Careers of Ricardo Lopez & Muhammad Ali...



REED::

 

OK, I feel like I'm missing a bigger connection somewhere but so far I have:

Kid Chocolate
to
Tony Canzoneri
to
Barney Ross
to
Ceferino Garcia
to
Lloyd Marshall
to
Archie Moore
to
Muhammad Ali
to
Larry Holmes
to
Ray Mercer
to
Wlad Klitschko

 

very well done

 

Shouldn't be too hard:

Lamotta to Hagler

 

Very good,

I had it like this....

Kid Chocolate
to Tony Canzoneri
to Al "Bummy" Davis
to Henry Armstrong
to Sugar Ray Robinson
to Bobo Olson
to Doug Jones
to Muhammad Ali
to Larry Holmes
to Ray Mercer
to Wlad Klitschko

 

Lamotta-Robinson-Archer-Minter-Hagler



How about Manny Pacquiao to Butterbean

 

The ring had a piece like this years and years ago where they linked Alfonzo Zamora to Ali. Lopez is even more impressive

 

This probably got a lot easier after Pacman-DLH.

Pacman
to DLH
to Hopkins
to Jones
to Ruiz
to Holyfield
to Holmes
to Butterbean

 

this thread should be renamed "boxrec hunters 101"::

 

People who live in glass houses...I'm sure you know the rest ::

 

PacMan
to DLH
to Mayweather
to Big Show
to Bart Gunn
to Butterbean
