I would say Antuofermo. Light punching brawler, yet took Hagler 15 rounds by virtue of will and toughness. Who do you think got to the top against...
Cross; an excellent thread! Your list is good, too. Other possibilities are Firpo, Bonavena, Quarry and Godoy. I'd throw in Tommy Farr, too....

I forgot Liston, and noticed him on cuchalain's list. There are so many you could pick, but I tend to favour punchers. I also like fighters who...
