    Name the "youngest" (combined age of the 2 boxers) pro fight that has taken place between 2 men, who today are members of the IBHOF.

    Sorry, Jorodz... 48 is a bit too much!

    Not even w/in El Radar's own career. He and SRL were a combined 44, while he and Hearns were a combined 46 [Tommy's a few weeks older than Wilfred].

    Hearns and Cuevas were a combined 42 in August 1980, but I'd imagine this involves two teenagers in an early obscure career match during antiquity. [Wouldn't be startled though if Hearns-Cuevas is the title fight record, however.]

    I don't think Bukkake actually knows he just wants to see what people will post

    Bobby was 22, Danny 21. I strongly suspect we're looking for a combined age under 40 by a good margin. [Might be time to cheat by looking at the IBHOF's roster of competitors for clues.]

    Damn, devon... you figured me out!

    Anyway, it's not one of the fights already mentioned.

    ... and Anubis is right, we have to go under 40!
