    Hagler
    Whitaker
    Camacho
    Michael Moore
    Pacquiao
    Hamed

    That's all I can think right of the bat that are on my list. I am missing a hispanic guy who lost to Comacho but can't think of the name.

    After that I would have to look into some past fighters to put them on but for sure my top two stay the same.

    one that is climbing my list is Lara.. Starting to like him more and more.

    i like Hagler but he was before my time...only thing alive is youtube clips but I do like his boxing ability as well.

    Can't forget Rigo and pac neither.

    Did I mention that Vitali dominated Corrie Sanders and ended his career?

    yeah, Vitali fought and destroyed the most dangerous HW southpaw of all time

    everybody avoided Sanders because he was a southpaw

    and a murderous puncher

    with laser fast hands and counterpunching ability

    he was feared as hell

    Lewis ducked him too. Lewis avoided ALL southpaws during his career

    Wlad has beat more southpaws than any other HW champion in history

    but none of them as good as Sanders

    Vitali is a boss and the H2H GOAT

    Pacquiao doesnt even deserve to be in the company of any of the above.
    All have more skill than him. All have better chins. Way overated.
