We 3 greatest fighters on one card,3 bouts.

Hey there Burt, hope all is well with you - I'll have first guess at one of the 3 greats on the bill at least - was Joe Louis on the bill??

 

There was a card with. Pipino Cuevas fighting Jorgen Hansen. At 154, Hearns fighting Pablo Baez. and I believe Leonard defended the Welterweight Championship in the main event? not too sure on that one...

 

Was Robinson involved?

 

Was Ray Leonard involved? Two gteat cards come to mind. When Leonard fought Benitez & when Leonard fought Davey "boy" Green both those fights werr part of really great cards.

 

Depending on who you consider ATGs/household names, there could be several answers to this question.

I thought the September 28, 1979 show in Las Vegas fits the description perfectly:

Larry Holmes TKO Earnie Shavers 11 at heavyweight
Sugar Ray Leonard KO 1 Andy Price at welterweight
Roberto Duran W PTS 10 Zeferino Gonzalez at welterweight

That's 3 different fights, in 2 weight classes, with 3 ATGs - who can't really get much more "household" than that! However, I see that Leonard isn't one of your guys... which of course rules this card out.

So, Burt... are the 3 men we're looking for even greater that these guys? Also, how many of the 3 fights (if any!) were for a world crown?

 

I know a legendary one that had Dempsey (v.s. Miske) , Greb and Langford ... since they overlap at heavy I'll assume that's not it ..

 

I'm sure you got it right... this must be what Burt is looking for. The Dempsey and Langford fights were at heavy, while Greb's fight was at light heavyweight... 3 fights in 2 divisions. Everything fits!

 

Jeez:yikes Dempsey Greb and Langford all on the same bill!!!! That had to be some show - nothing really tops that for me - it must be that - can you imagine being able to say you were ringside for Demps, Greb and Sam in the same day??!! Awesome

 

How about this as a runner up?
