    Chacon and Saad are my top 2 as well but they're all ridiculously exciting fighters. Oh, and Boza 'never in a bad fight' Edwards should definitely be on there!

    From the three or four Lopez fights I have seen, I agree with this.

    I think Yaqui Lopez should be on this list. And as long I'm on a Lopez jag, what about Indian Red?

    Maybe I'm going overboard there, but I always thought Yaqui's fights were pretty exciting back in the day.

    How could I forget Basilio as well! His fights with DeMarco, particularly the second one, were classics.

    When Boza first came to the UK from Uganda, he was already a well known Amateur International noted for his dancing feet and a big punch.

    Damn, I have been a fan of boxing for a long time and I have missed the Chacon fights and based on this thread I feel I have missed something. Which Chacon fights should we zero in on?

    Decided to add Kevin Kelley to the mix. He seems to be overlooked nowadays but he’s produced one of the best fights and comebacks.
