Which 2 non-HOFers shared the most HOFers?

Thought I'd try another non-HOF question!

Jerry Quarry and Oscar Bonavena both fought Patterson, Ali and Frazier... so we have here 2 non-HOFers, who shared 3 HOFers.

Is it possible to find 2 non-HOFers, who shared 4 HOFers? Or maybe even 5, or... well, how high can we go?

Why am I not surprised, it's you who comes up with the first quartet? Anyway, good find.

As amount of fights get less in modern times, it becomes more and more rare to find these kind of guys.

Greg Haugen & Jose Luis Ramirez may share the "recent" record as they have 4 common HoFers in

Ray Mancini
Hector Camacho
Pernell Whitaker
Julio Cesar Chavez
