    I thought it could be Duran with his wins over Palomino and SRL but did not realize he had three fights between them. So which fighter has the best back to back wins?

    Greb has some notable ones:

    Dillon - Levinsky - Smith
    Walker - Rosenbloom
    Flowers - Slattery

    And his most impressive, Mike Gibbons - Bill Brennan - Battling Levinsky. A top 10 ATG Middleweight and P4P great, the number 1 HW contender of the time, and a HoF Light Heavyweight champion.

    Pat Lawlor beat Wilfred Benitez and Roberto Duran back to back.

    Marvin Hagler, Ray Leonard and Thomas Hearns avoided him like the plague. They know who the real ‘fifth Beatle’ of the Four Horsemen was and wanted nothing to do with Irish Pat.
