Okay, so I'm sure some of you may have heard of the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game, where you basically try to link any actor through his/her film roles to Kevin Bacon within six steps.
Well...this is basically the same concept, except I'm curious to see who can find the shortest link between the fighters.
For example, if you were to try and link Manny Pacquiao to Julio Cesar Chavez, you might do something like:
Manny Pacquiao -> Oscar De La Hoya -> Julio Cesar Chavez
* Note: Oscar De La Hoya is essentially boxing's version of Kevin Bacon
Simple concept, but it can be trickier than you think.
So first up...an easy one...
FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. TO SUGAR RAY ROBINSON
Or for those that want something a little more interesting...
MANNY PACQUIAO TO FLASH ELORDE
And for those that really want a challenge...
VITALI KLITSCHKO TO WILLIE PEP
Who's got the shortest link?

Seeing as how nobody has tried yet, I'm not even sure anyone can get the first one, let alone the last one.

For the record though, they all can be done.

I found the second to be easier than the first. Here are two options...
Manny Pacquiao >> Oscar De La Hoya >> Derrell Coley >> Saoul Mamby >> Percy Hayles >> Flash Elorde
Manny Pacquiao >> Oscar De La Hoya >> Hector Camacho >> Ray Mancini >> Al Ford >> Percy Hayles >> Flash Elorde

Moore>Ali>Berbick>Rahman>Ruiz>Jones>Woods>Johnson>Dawson is the best I can do. If I had more time maybe I could cut that down

Moore--Ali--Berbick--Tyson--Golota--Adamek--Dawson

This should be called six degrees of boxrec. Good game though. I liked the Moore>Dawson one the best.
