    OK, but if ya gunna scramble to Boxrec, I have to make it trickie.

    Who am I?
    My father knocked out a Kiwi legend. I was stopped by a fighter that was stopped by a fighter who lost a UD to the bloke that beat Danny Green in a WT fight

    Name each one. :roll::D

    BTW, it's not me.

    I'll have a bit of crack RODIN:

    Who am I? - Leo Young Jnr.

    My father KOed a Kiwi Legend - Leo's father Leo Young Snr KOed Manny Santos.

    I was stopped by a fighter - Leo Young Jnr was stopped by Kevin 'Bones' Kelly.

    That was stopped by a fighter - Kevin Kelly was stopped by Gary Lockett.

    NOTE: This is where it's falling apart for me.

    Marcus Beyer is the bloke who beat Danny Green in a W/T fight. But Marcus Beyer didn't beat Gary Lockett by UD.

    IS ANY OF THE ABOVE CORRECT, IS THE OBVIOUS QUESTION.

    Starting to think we're talking NZ legend with a small 'l' not a large 'L' here....Tony (Snr) and Anthony (Jnr) are starting to fit better than others...on the right track?

    Beyer is the only guy who has beaten Danny in a title fight.

    Choc beat him in an eliminator, no title on the line.

    Has the work backward from Beyer...but Im struggling, he decisioned so many guys:D

    Welcome aboard Rock, you're the form player.

    I've looked at those I consider Kiwi legends and pretty well ruled them out, one by one (no disrespect intended to NZ - based on their population they've done fine in boxing).

    First one to admit I'm struggling here! Thought the Leo Young Snr & Jnr solution was fitting fine until the last piece of the puzzle just didn't fit.

    Was the Kiwi legend a boxer?? I'm thinking All Black or non boxer who got donged by the who-am-I's father.

    As the Rock stated above, Beyer is the only guy who has beaten Danny in a title fight. If this isn't the final part of the puzzle the thing's going to prove too cryptic - as that part seems straight forward.

    Can't see the Kiwi legend being someone many would rate as a legend (but I've been wrong before - just ask my wife!) as I've trawled through the one's I rate that way for no success.

    Monty Betham attracted my attention. But the spinoffs from him would be Wally Carr and Steve Aczel and I can't see a 'son' trail from either of them.

    We're going to need to substaniate something in the chain or this one will end up in the too hard basket. A not-too-generous hint might be a good idea.

    I thought it might be someone Nishizawa Ko'd, but he hastn knocked any Aussies out.
