    1 - Junior Witter
    2 - Johnny Nelson
    3 - Billy Schwer
    4 - Ensley Bingham
    6 - Shea Neary
    7 - Carl Thompson
    8 - Jawaid Khaliq
    9 - Kirkland Laing
    10 - Michael Ayers

    Maybe not neccesarily in this exact order but a few names who should get more recognition for their fights and what they brought to the sport.

    Laing had great abilty but regrettably messed it all with drugs. The 1 duran shock over-inflates how good he is perceived really. And Witter's rated just about right really

    Did Duran ever beat anyone decent after he lost to Laing, apart from a Barkley that took a hiding from Hearns (but somehow won :-()

    Dominated by Benitez (apparently)
    Beaten by Hagler
    Wrecked by Hearns in two rounds
