    Heavyweight--Eddie Chambers. Really good fighter that was badly undersized in the era he fought in.

    Cruiserweight-- Giacobbe Fragomeni. Tough as nails undersized swarmer that was always fun to watch.

    Lightheavyweight--Eddie Davis. Tough as nails 80's stud that yave Michael Spinks his toughest fight at 175.

    Middleweight-- Joey Archer could box as good as anyone. Too bad he couldn't crack an Egg.

    Welterweight-- Terron Millett. He actually fought mostly at Jr. Welterweight but he was a guy from my hometown that could straight up bang. I have seen him deck Lightheavyweights in sparring back in the day.

    Lightweight--- Leonard Dorrin. Fought an all time classic against Spadafora before getting done in early by Gatti in weightclass he had no business being in.

    Dave Charnley, British Lightweight of the late 50’s early 60’s.
    A top contender beat some good men, lost against good men but a real aggressive southpaw handful.
    Lost a still disputed 15 round decision against Joe Brown in 1961 which was the Ring Magazines Fight of the Year.
    He was probably a bit mismanaged for some reason they had him quite often fighting welterweights. I mean in his last fight past prime they put him in with Welterweight king Emile Griffith!

    Saoul Mamby would have beaten him, as good as Aaron was.
