    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.

    Herol Graham

    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
