Here might be a fun thing to do, have a boxing slant on the above.
It is said that you can connect one person to another in 6 steps.
So why not boxers, however lets be as creative as we can.

My starter is Jersey Joe Walcott to Joe Pesci.
6 steps from one to the other, I will give a clue though:

Analyze that Oscar

Jack Johnson to Charles Manson.

My clue is true grit on the beach

Just woke from the night shift..

I'ts gonna be a bad day, cos I can't work out your riddles.. lol

Nice new avatar.. I know who it is, but the name just won't come..
Maybe I need to wake up a bit.. Will try again later...

SRR fought Jake LaMotta
