    I am not very good at this, but I think winning a cruiserweight title has to be up there as well.

    It's a good list I don't necessarily disagree with any of the names you listed but as @Clinton said maybe Nate Miller deserves a mention because that's a fairly good win for a past it Hearns against a former Cruiserweight champion.

    1. Pipino Cuevas- goes out and absolutely crushes a boxer who was a feared puncher with 2 devastating right hands.

    2. Roberto Duran- NOBODY ever did that to Duran and that right hand sounded like a rifle shot.

    3. Wilfredo Benitez - drops Benitez then out boxes the boxer. Make no mistake he doesn't injury his right hand he stops Wilfred.

    4. James Shuler- Unbeaten middleweight contender at the time and a highly accomplished amateur. Hearns stopped him in 1 round.

    5. Fred Hutchings- Soild jr.middleweight contender who was suppose to provide a test for Years. Three one sided rounds latter it was a complete mismatch.

    6. Doug DeWitt - beat a tough legitimate middleweight contender.

    7. Dennis Andries- moved up to light heavy and stopped Andries.

    8._Ray Leonard 2 - turned back the clock and beat Leonard only to settle with a draw.

    9. Virgil Hill - beat a boxer that would regain the title and hold it for many years. And he did it by out boxing the boxer.

    10. Marvin Hagler- for once a fight met the hype and will be for all-time one of the most savage displays of boxing.

    Not sure I'd include Geraldo in there. He decided to take a nap that night. It was a non-fight.
