I'd add :

Charlie Magri
Tony Sibson

1 Michael Hunter
2 Johnny Tapia
3 Aaron Pryor
4 Roberto Duran
5 Emanuel Augustus
6 Roy Jones
7 Henry Wharton
8 Lennox Lewis
9 Pernell Whittaker
10 Michael Gomez

Leonard, Hearns, Tyson, Hamed, Hodkinson, Benn, Hatton, Bruno, Wharton, Graham.
Thats off the top of my head based on who i used to look forward to seeing on television. People on here forget how good and watchable Hatton was in his pre-Tszyu days. Loved watching Graham, Hoko and Henry in the old Sportsnight days, too.

Another I'd like to add is Michael Katsidis. Never in a dull one.

In addition to CAT, I always had a lot of time for Wharton, Crawford Ashley and Ross Hale.

"Sportsnight with Coleman" 9.25 BBC One Wednesdays. those were the days

Good call

Oh! Pat Barrett!

Ray Mancini was in some great battles.

Baby jake was a strong little freak who amazed me with his strength.

Matthew saad was a tremendous warrior!!!!! Probably the yanks favourite.

Dwight Muhammad qawi.quality brawler

I do love watching a clever boxer disect & pick apart a fighter & shut them out defensively winky wrights defense & jab IMO was great!
Magic Marlon starlon was a great welter & clever fighter.

There are loads you forget about!!

Gatti
Hagler
Mugabi
Benn
Hamed
Hearns
Leanord
Tyson
Morales
Khan
Kahut

1) Matthew Saad Muhammad - Real life 175 lb Rocky Balboa.
2) Willie Pep - The best defensive fighter I've seen. Mesmeric to watch at times.
3) Thomas Hearns - Could destroy you with one punch or box the knickers off you, all within the same minute!!
4) Prince Naseem Hamed - Kamikaze fighter. Could have been a legend if only he'd actually learnt how to box. Then again, when you can punch like him, maybe you don't need to box.
5) Mike McCallum - If you want to see the lost art of body punching at it's best, please watch this guy.
6) Hector Camacho - Pre Rosario 1986. Used to love going to war until Rosario almost put his lights out twice in '86. Blistering handspeed & a stinging Right jab.
7) Mike Tyson - 1985 - 1989; A destroyer of men like no other, with handspeed & head movement to savour.
8 Nigel Benn - A true warrior of the ring who was actually MORE dangerous when hurt.
9) Jake LaMotta - Up there for the mythical title of the toughest man ever. You couldn't knock him down with a double decker bus at 30mph if you tried.
10) Julian Jackson - If you like chilling KOs, he provided them in spades. Arguably, p4p the hardest puncher in boxing folklore IMO.
