    Starter for ten off the top of my head. I don't really know much about pre-1950 so have passed on the likes of Tunney, Loughran, Corbett and others mentioned on this forum. I'll leave it to people who know more about them to make their cases.

    Whitaker
    Locche
    Pep
    Benitez
    Pastriano
    Giardello
    Canto
    Camacho
    Ali (64-67)
    Nunn
