Let's test your knowledge....

I know of a Lightweight that has a common opponent with a Heavyweight

and a Featherweight that has a common opponent with a LightHeavyweight

Can you give me at least one example of each with the fighters involved?

 

Current or Inactive?

 

Roberto Duran<--------------->Iran Barkley<---------------->Trevor Berbick

 

well done, beat me to it

 

Now...this Featherweight conundrum.....I'd say that slag Hopkins is involved, via Stinky Wright, perhaps, it reeks of pound-for-poundedness.

 

the best I could get was Pep to Angott to Robinson to Joey Maxim, but that's four guys

 

I'd say its modern, although Mickey Walker might be worth a shot.

 

with Walker you could link a lightweight to a heavyweight... assuming the lightweight is no one of consequence from Walker's very early years in the pro ranks

 

Just wait for it....its Floyd, Super-Featherweight, which is a "Form of Featherweight, Guys".

 

Nice!

I had Whitaker<-->Trinidad<-->Jones

 

Don't give up on the Featherweight one.

 

Nah, just three

 

pacquiao-dlh-hopkins

fw-ww-lhw

 

Onions, baby, Onions! :bears:

 

Fuck that shit.

Henry Armstrong<---------------->Sugar Ray Robinson<------------------><--------------->Joey Maxim. {130lbr vs former 147lbr vs 175lb champ}

In fact, Henry Armstrong<--------------->Sugar Ray is a direct link from feather to Light-Heavy.

 

Good one.

Try and get this one.

Champion in the 00s with a common opponent with a champion from the 60s.

That's FOUR DECADES m'man.

 

Holyfield held the WBA for a minute...

So Holyfield - Holmes (or Foreman) - Ali

 

nice.

I was thinking Rahman-Berbick-Ali

 

You gentlemen are too good at this. I thought Y'all would have been stumped more easily.

So this is the last one I can think of for now:

Which Father shares a common opponent with his son?

 

Much better example. Didn't know Rahman fought Berbick... Rahman was an actual champion in the 2000s

 

Chavez and Chavez Jnr both fought Grover Wiley.

 

Also, Camacho and Camacho Jnr both fought Yori Boy

 

Man, you're too good.

I was thinking Joe Frazier ---Joe Bugner --- Marvis Frazier

 

Good one.

I'm still holding out hope for Monk vs. Holyfield sometime in 2018. ray:

 

Light-heavy champ Harold Johnson & his father (Phil) both lost to Jersey Joe Walcott.

 

Corrie Sanders and his Son Wlad both lost to Vitali.

 

good one.
