    I don't know about greatest but Duran beating Cuevas and Davey Moore in 1983 was very good.

    SRR over Zivic x 2 in 41-42 is decent.

    Best pre title run surely has to be SRR. Also Angott, LaMotta and Armstrong among many others.

    Rafael Herrera had two pretty great B2B wins against: a) Chucho Castillo and Ruben Olivares in 1971/1972 and b) Ruben Olivares and Rodolfo Martinez in 1972/1973.

    Yeah you are quite right!

    He does have Angott then Armstrong the first time which keeps him in the chat but definitely not the sealed tomb I though it was.

    Harry Greb beating Micky Walker and Maxie Rosenbloom back to back in the same month back in 1925 was pretty impressive.
