    Boxing Quiz

    Fighter A is an ATG and lineal champion in his division. Then fighter B comes along and stops fighter A. Fighter B will become an ATG.

    B is a charismatic figure who is known as a “boxer” as opposed to a slugger, is fast, and are known to clown around in the ring. They are known for being media darlings, and won Olympic gold medals. They would also, in the middle of their prime, take a lay-off of three years between fights.

    Fighter B meets Fighter C, and B and C fight in one of the greatest fights in history. B is undefeated, and C is or was considered a world champion, but not lineal in the weight they are fighting at the time. It was C’s peak and best performance, and C won a hard won fight by unanimous decision.

    B and C would meet again twice, but both times B would get his revenge, in one fight beating C by TKO in a 15 round fight, and the other fight beating C by a unanimous decision in a 12 round fight.

    C would meet fighter D, who is known as a monster puncher. C lost in two rounds by being stopped by D, being dropped multiple times in a match where C is utterly destroyed.

    D fought B in a 15 round title fight. B would later become undisputed champion by stopping D in what would be considered one of boxing’s greatest victories.

    Who is fighter A, B, C, and D? There are at two correct answers for each. All of them would be considered all time greats.

    They were mainly for the lineal title, and undisputed too, but of course, they also were for alphabet titles!

    I tried to make the second one Benitez, Leonard, Duran and Hearns, except Leonard was already lineal champion when he beat Hearns.

    And you got it! I might have made a mistake on the "regaining lineal" part, so I edited the question and I apologize!
