    Fighting Harada
    Ruben Olivares
    Lionel Rose
    Jeff Fenech
    Archie Moore
    Miguel Canto
    Emile Griffith
    Nicolino Locche
    Joe Louis
    Charley Burley
    Chris Eubank Snr
    Ezzard Charles

    This is my list for now, probably. With no order kinda. Feel free to drop your own or comment on my lists flawless appeal.

    Honourable mention! @djanders but because he’s listed under several identities and his defining fight was assaulting Tunney on the street he’s a bit hard to put above someone like Ezzard Charles...

    Burley is a interesting choice, not sure about you, but I haven't seen much of him fighting ? is it because of what you have read about him, I suppose it must be, silly question. keep well.
