    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Miguel Cotto
    Muhammad Ali
    Roberto Duran
    Bernard Hopkins
    Roy Jones Jr.
    Shane Mosley
    Oscar De La Hoya
    James Toney
    Antonio Cervantes

    Joe Louis, Morales, Barrera, Pacquiao, Mayweather, Chavez, Martinez, and Leonard could have all made an 11th or 12th spot.

    Hard to pick, sometimes feels like other names should be there instead, but it helps to think of who's fights you go back and watch the most. I need to keep exploring older eras.

    I just realized I missed Carmen Basilio, who is one of my favorite fighters of all time.

    Oh well...

    Fantastic fighter.

    I also think Eddie Gregory (Eddie Mustafa Muhammad nowdays) is criminally underrated around here, and rarely gets mentioned.
