    Active? Pretty much no natives. The last Polish boxers I cared about were Golota and Michalczewski.

    The remaining five:
    1) Frank Sanchez
    2) Kazuto Ioka
    3) Naoya Inoue
    4) Erislandy Lara (though he is pretty much retired, so let's say David Morell
    5) John Ryder

    I'll probably watch every Andy Cruz fight, and I'm a fan of Hyun-mi Choi and Savannah Marshall as far as female boxing goes.

    Yeah in hindsight I should've put that in the title. I thought people would assume active because I put it in the general forum not classic, but you know what they say about assuming. I've fixed the title now.
