    I don't have a definitive list, but Hagler would definitely be lurking right about where yours left off.

    Not in order but the names that would most likely comprise of the whole list are:

    Leonard
    Hagler
    Hearns
    Hopkins
    McCallum
    Jones
    Duran
    Pacquaio
    Juan Manual Marquez *
    Mayweather
    De La Hoya
    Tyson
    Lewis
    Erik Morales *
    Shane Mosley *
    Holyfield
    Spinks
    Felix Trinidad *
    Marco Antonio Barerra *
    Azumah Nelson *
    Benitez
    Michael Nunn *
    Toney
    Ali
    Foreman
    Monzon
    Whitaker
    Sanchez
    Arguello
    Holmes

    That probably covers it, now just put it in order. The ones with stars by their names would be at the end of the top 25 list with some not making it.

    Azumah makes it he was one of the most overlooked fighters ever.
