Most folks probably know that Bob Fitzsimmons and Jack Johnson are buried within easy walking distance of one another at Chicago's Graceland Cemetery.

What two welterweight/middleweight champions lie buried in the same cemetery?

Hint # 1: Unlike Johnson and Fitz, these two never fought one another.
Hint # 2: The cemetery is in California.
Answer: Tommy Ryan and Sugar Ray Robinson are buried at Inglewood Park Cemetery in Los Angeles County.
