    Yeah, that one caught me off guard too. That's why I asked the op to clarify. Unless I'm missing something?

    You forgot Jeremy Williams and Johnny Miler.

    Miler is famous for fighting Joe Louis in Louis's first ever organized boxing match. A match Miler won, sending Louis to the canvas numerous times.

    Today I would probably go with something like this:

    Jack
    Skoglund
    Granat
    Wallin
    Forling

    Not a great list but its good for boxing in general.
