    Between the original connection hint, and the additional one, Xiong and Sardiñas ought to point you in the direction of the other two (maybe...hopefully :sisi1)

    Any chance the welterweight is Mihai Leu of Romania?

    Boxrec has Leu with one fight before the one you used as a start date so I decided to take a shot.

    Finding a heavyweight champ who had but a five year career is rugged but I'm still looking.

    Blast it all, you're right! It was BoxRec themselves that screwed me over there; they have his debut listed as December thirteenth of '91 at the very top of his page but, belied by scrolling down where that is his sophomore outing.

    I can give you a hint on the heavyweight, but have you found the connection between Kid Chocolate, Xiong, and Leu? (aside from all hailing from current or former Communist states)

    No, I have not worked through the connection yet. Might be a good time to go there. No hint yet, thanks.

    As far as the other connection, you mean something beside the fact that they are the first champion from their country, right? I ask because we established that earlier.

    Oh that's right - you did guess that correctly at the same time you found Xiong!

    Alright, you're set to go for the fourth (and certainly most difficult) one.

    Well, I have pretty much exhausted my resources and my mind. You can give the answer, give another clue or wait for others to answer.

    Ah, this would be a limiting factor. Think a signal got crossed somewhere if you're looking for a HW champ with a five year career. The five-year man was a welterweight, Leu, whom you already got (as well as our straw and junior lightweight).

    You're on the lookout for a 9 year super feather, not a 5 year heavy.

    This individual also isn't Mexican but shares a nickname with a top Mexican fighter (a four division champion) of the current millennium.

    I did know it wasn't a five year heavy. That was a slip of the typewriter. Thanks for the new clue. The hunt continues.

    Clearing some additional brambles from the path: this country had some close brushes yet has never been Communistic as were or are the other three; it has been under leadership that adopted "3rd Way" policies.

    This person isn't often reported as the country's first world boxing champion. You often find it reported, inaccurately, as somebody else.

    I got over my innate male chauvinist pig stage. How about Peruvian Kina Malpartida.
