Who are the only two fighters in history.....?
....to have kayoed both a one-time lightweight champ and a one-time light heavyweight champ?
Answers include tko's.
turns out there are actually five champs who accomplished this feet, not just two. maybe i should have researched this question more!!!!
five BOXERS accomplished this feet, not necessarily all champs!!
Jose ~ Hearns is one.
Jose ~ Leonard is number two. Three to go, and one of those is really tough!
Tongue Click ~ Hopkins is three. Two to go.
Clue.Of the two remaining, One is a current / recent boxer, and one is an older boxer who beat a one time linear lightweight champ and a one time linear light heavyweight champ, but was never champion himself
Clue; Of the two remaining answers, one is a recent multiple weight champion.
The other fought in the '50s & '60s. And fought for the middleweight title. He also was stopped in the first round by someone who many believe should have been a champion.
tommy hearns kayoed roberto duran & dennis andries
s r leonard kayoed duran (technically) & donny lalonde
b hopkins kayoed de la hoya & glen johnson
roy jones jr kayoed vinny paz & montell griffin
florentino fernandez kayoed paddy de marco & jose torres.

Thomas Hearns is one of them, as for the other, I would have to say... hmmm... I'll try to get back to you.
Sugar Ray Leonard would be the other.

I'd make a guess at Sam Langford KO'ing Philly Jack O'brien and...Joe Gans? Except I know he beat Gans on points, did he not?
*thinks for ages*
Bernard Hopkins.
great question
