    How you get from Jimmy Wilde to Lennox Lewis by listing opponents???

    I'm sure someone did it on here a few years ago??

    Jimmy fought someone, who fought someone.............................................who fought someone, who fought Lennox Lewis

    Anyone??

    I know you can have Wilde beating tyson, so then Bruno, McCall, Lewis is toast.

    You can also do it the other way so that Wilde beats Lewis.

    Well done finding the Leonard v Lewis connection. After Ted "kid" Lewis" you could also go on via Georges Carpentier, Dempsey, Sharkey, Louis.
    Lots of fun here.
