Me too.
Good article and can'targue with your choices. Possible inclusions: Fernando Montiel and Marcos Maidana.
Montiel has been involved in some fantastic fights over the past decade from the flyweight division to super bantam. I, for one, doubted if he could move up to 118, but the way he travelled to Japan and destroyed Hasegawa was fantastic and it's one of my favourite moments in boxing over the past few years. Even in his defeat to Donaire, he displayed unbelievable courage and heart to rise off the canvas to try and continue.
Similar to Montiel, Maidana always comes to fight and literally walks through punches to land his own. I love seeing Maidana being dropped because when he gets up he always steps it up a gear and really goes for it. He is a perfect example for the saying "a wounded animal is the most dangerous".

Nice bit on Arce, I am in love with that man
Could probably do an article like this on 20 or 30 boxers so there will always be omissions! Would like to have seen a mention for Segura though...ever since that first fight with Canchila (still my favourite fight of his) that people have seemed to forgotten about as it was the undercard for Cotto-Marg I!, he has given us fight after fight of action. Definition of a warrior!
