    In no particular order of preference.

    Marvin Hagler
    Ray Leonard
    Larry Holmes
    Thomas Hearns
    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Mike Tyson
    Evander Holyfield
    Michael Nunn
    Terry Norris
    Julian Jackson
    Azumah Nelson
    Jeff Fenech
    Edwin Rosario
    Hector Camacho
    Ray Mancini

    looking at those names, no wonder the 1980s is my favourite boxing decade.
