    Greb met A, who met B......... who met X, who met Monzon.

    Who can find the shortest link between these two ATG/HOF middleweights?

    red cobra and stevebhoy87 have now both cut the number of names between Greb and Monzon down to 7...

    ...but it's possible to make the link even shorter!

    Best answer so far - as we are now down to 6 names in the link. But it's possible to go one better, as there is a 5-man connection out there.

    CLUE:
    Try and start with Tommy Loughran....
