well, without getting into a "ten best" list until give it more thought, here are some names in that come to mind.
Great counterpunchers: Joe Louis. This is going to astound some, who think of Joe as an agressive destroyer, which he was, but if you can see any of his early films you will see how he would feint leads and not throw them, feint and not throw until his opponent would be suckered into throwing a lead and Joe's hands were so fast his punch and follow up punches would get there first. In the second Walcott fight, another great counter puncher, the crowd booed what was actually an excellent technical fight.Walcott kept socking Louis in the first fight by countering him. In the second one, Louis just outwaited Walcott. Walcott went into a brief Ali shuffle to draw Louis, which he did but it gave the Bomber the opening he was waiting for and let loose with the kayo barrage.
Harold Johnson was one of the greatest counter punchers you'd ever see. He'd block a punch and in the same motion land one of his own.
underacheivers. Coley Wallace and light heavy Tony Anthony come to mind.
Over acheivers. It's seldom you'll hear me say much in favor of Marciano, but I think this was his greatest asset. limited in natural talent, great heart and great condition and determination are what took him as far as he went. Of course, you shall always find him high on my list of dirtiest fighters, and all alone at the top of the most over rated.
this is a good post and will draw good reaction, and I'm looking forward to learning more about some recent fighters that I'm not as familiar with.

ten fastest knockouts in championship fight history
ten highest punch counts for championship fights since compubox
ten hottest women boxers
ten boxers who have suffered the ill effects of brain damage the most
naturally the titles of those lists could be shortened but thats something im just not willing to do
