i'm sure most of you have heard of the oracle of kevin bacon, also known as six degrees of kevin bacon... i've just read a pretty good new book titled New York City's Greatest Boxers in the book the writer uses Juan LaPorte and plays the game with boxing. try it out - its pretty cool.

Who can get from this guy to Ali in 6 degrees?
If I had money, i'd put money on NOBODY.

simple. john ladeus fought henry reid, reid fought an ageing barney wesker, wesker had a long career, an early bout was against armando hernandez. hernandez fought fred pascoe at middleweight, pascoe fought part of his career in europe and was once outpointed by jean pierre coupman. coupman - ali.
c'mon hit me with another one
