Quiz: Who are we? IV

Additional clues.
None of the answers are fighters from before the second world war.
- We fought a close fight for the world title. One of us won our first and only world title by smashing a Brit from Liverpool in Dublin whilst the other was smashed by a Brit in a wild fight. In this wild fight Larry Merchant was pretty flabbergasted by one of the entrances. Who are we?
- We fought to a split decision in a non-title fight. One of us was a two-weight world champion at 130 and 140 pounds who lost twice to a fighter that the other fought and lost to for a world title at the age of 19. The other fighter never did become a world champion but he is one of the better fighters never to have done so. Who are we?
- We fought once for a less respected 'world' title. One of us had previously pulled off an upset in London becoming only the second man to defeat a fighter that the other had been the first man to defeat. When the first man pulled off the upset his record was 21-13-2 going into the fight and the man he defeated was 42-1-0. This same fighter was 36-0 and right near the top of the pound for pound rankings when he first lost to this other fighter. Who are we?
- What connects us is that we were world champions from the same island. One of us became a world champion and fought some great middleweights and light-heavyweights whilst the other lost to a defensive wizard. One had a tattoo on his arm and the other has a connection to Japan although that is not the island that either are from. Who are we?
- We fought each other once for a less respected 'world' title. Both of our biggest victories were against the same fighter, we were the only men to defeat said fighter. The fighter they both defeated was in the Ring magazine pound for pound list at the time of both defeats. Who are we?

Yeah, that must be them... great job!
I'm interested to see, if you got #1 right as well! When it says "one of us won OUR one and only world title"... I took it to mean, that only one of them was a world champion.
But everything else fits, so I probably read it wrong.Comment
