    Honestly, I think the order you gave in your list can't be all that far off the mark. Lesser fighters like Jorge Castro or Gene Fullmer could probably get a shout, as well.

    Jock McAvoy,

    just look at his record, including against L-HWs & HWs, the man barely suffered a dent in about 147 fights.

    only 14 losses, 2 by Stoppages/ko.
