    Obviously they all fought each other — in some cases multiple times — so there’s no reason to include those.

    I’ll list the ones I can think of off the top of my head and ask you guys to add anything I missed:

    Wilfred Benitez: Leanard (L KO), Duran (W Dec), Hearns (L Dec)

    Randy Shields: Hearns (L KO, cuts), Leonard (L Dec)

    Marcos Geraldo: Hager (L Dec), Leonard (L Dec), Hearns (L KO)

    Luigi Minchillo: Hearns (L Dec),Duran (L Dec)

    Iran Barkley: Hearns x2 (W KO, W Dec), Duran (L Dec)

    Juan Domingo Roldan: Hagler (L KO), Hearns (L KO)

    Bruce Finch: Leonard (L KO), Hearns (L KO)

    Adolfo Viruet; Duran (L Dec), Leonard (L Dec)

    Hector Camacho: Duran (W Dec), Leonard (W KO)

    Pipino Cuevas: Hearns (L KO), Duran (L KO)

    Javier Muniz: Duran (L Dec), Leonard (L KO)

    EDIT: Added Benitiez-Duran; corrected Minchillo to reflect loss to Duran, not Leonard.

    What am I missing?

    You mean they faced John, Paul, George and Ringo, those are the only Fab Four that I know, The Beatles.

    Ringo beats them all like they’re a drum.

    I personally think Benitez is the honorary fifth member.

    That’s how I view him also William - only name missing on his resume is Hags.

    The Beatles were mentioned earlier, we can think of Benitez like Pete Best, the drummer that was ousted from the Beatles and replaced by Ringo Starr. :D

    You can't use Stuart Sutcliff, he was beaten in Hamburg in 1961, sadly he passed away.

    We forgot about George Martin, he was often referred to as the 5th Beatle.

    What do you think Rich - perhaps instead of the Fab Four we call them The Dave Clark Five - making room for Mr Benitez?

    Strange to think that Hector Camacho was the last oppenent for both SRL and Duran... Weird.

    Well he's every bit as eligible as Hagler, so I don't see why not!

    If we're going to include Wilfred Benitez as part of the unoffical member of the Fab Four:

    Angel Robinson Garcia and Pete Ranzany both fought Roberto Duran and Wilfred Benitez.
