    SRL since he beat the most styles but I could see where there is an argument for either Hagler or Pryor

    Arguello, Benetiz, Curry, Starling etc all deserve a mention.

    Then there are cross over era guys like Napoles and Monzon.

    I'm going with Duran.

    I think Ruben Olivares can be mentioned also. Dude could come foward and KTFO dudes, as well as box and counterpunch brilliantly.
