    Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards.

    There's probably a shorter way, but I've done it with IBHOF's bar two - Memphis Pal Moore, who should be in the HOF in my opinion or is very close, and Holyfield, who is obviously future HOF.

    Here is a classic six degrees of speration, to get you thinking:

    The German and English, Highway Robbery Kings:

    Sven Ottke fought...

    Fighter 1:... Who fought
    Fighter 2:... Who fought
    Fighter 3:... Who fought
    Fighter 4:... Who fought
    Fighter 5:... Who fought
    Fighter 6:... Who fought Dick Turpin (Brother of Randy; also the first Black British champion)

    I think at best it can only be done with six degrees of seperation, anything less would be mighty impressive, IMO.
