    Only include fighters who you saw for at least a portion of their primes. You don't have to have been around for their entire career or entire prime but if you were old enough to remember watching at least one fight where were still prime or near it you can include them. For example, I'm not including Ali or Foreman for this reason.

    1.) Duran
    2.) Leonard
    3.) Sweet Pea
    4.) Hagler
    5.) Floyd
    6.) JCC
    7.) Pac
    8.) RJJ
    9.) Hearns
    10.) JMM
    11.) Hopkins
    12.) Holyfield
    13.) Oscar
    14.) Arguello
    15.) Pryor
    16.) Morales
    17.) Barrera
    18.) Lopez
    19.) Benitez
    20.) Lennox
    21.) Holmes
    22.) McCallum
    23.) Toney
    24.) Azumah
    25.) Zaggers

    Honorable Mention: Tyson, Mosley, Qawi, Wlad, Vitali, Galaxy, Sanchez, Benn, Eubank, Ward, Chris John, Tito, Palomino, Cuevas, McClellan, Tszyu, Castillo.

    Probably forgetting some but **** it.

    I missed some 80s guys other than seeing clips on youtube but not counting them


    Don't have time to think top 25 but top 10 of who impressed me the most and had the most talent.

    Roy Jones Jr (solid #1)
    Sugar Ray Leonard (solid #2)

    These could flip flop depending on the day I'm thinking about it:

    Oscar De La Hoya
    Bernard Hopkins
    Manny Pac
    Floyd
    Whitaker
    Trinidad
    Tyson
    Evander

    also, hearns, haglar, duran, barrera, Morales, Tsyu, Mosley, Winky in there somewhere.

    Of course the fab four are all up there, but I just didn't pay attention to them enough to really rank them, sugar i did though.

    I forgot about Lewis. I'd rank him above Toney, he was the last great HW, maybe even above Barrera since he avenged all of his losses.
