    In no particular order:

    Hagler
    Duran
    Hearns
    JMM
    Barrera

    (Olivares would have made the list but he was well past-peak by the time I could talk. Ditto Ali.)

    Born 1988.

    Probably..

    Tyson
    Lewis
    Naseem
    Morales
    Gatti


    The five I enjoyed most following intensely and actively would be..

    Lennox Lewis
    Manny Pacquiao
    Juan Manuel Marquez
    Miguel Cotto
    Israel Vazquez


    With favorite fights being the Vazquez - Marquez ones... well, the first three were amazing the fourth was a stab in the heart unfortunately.
    Corrales - Castillo and Pacquiao - JMM fights were amazing aswell.

    Edwin Valero was one I really ****ing enjoyed watching, and pondered time and time again just how great the man could potentially be.

    Such a shame he's dead.. would've been a great story to follow had he had the mental stability to stay in the game for another few years.

    Yes, but it was that "edge" that made him so dangerous in the ring so I think the conclusion may have been inevitable.
