Except for 2 names our lists are identical :fing02:
There was talk about ODLH not being able to keep up with Edwin as the reason he was cut as one of the sparring partners for the Pac fight (might have been the May fight, but my memory is blurry).
It was for the Pacquiao fight, he was perfect for the job. Southpaw and fast with good punching power.
No particular order:
Joe Fraizer
Randall Bailey
Tommy Hearns
George Foreman
Mike Tyson
Edwin Valero
Prince Naseem
Julian Jackson
Lennox Lewis
Randall Bailey will forever be my favorite puncher. The guy could knock you out at any given moment. His only downside was that he is so one handed, so he can't get you unless he sets up the right. But imagine if his left hand was as strong as his right...
Edwin Valero has to be there if you put Naseem. Too bad he can't prove it anymore.
Jose Sulaiman remembers Edwin as “el noqueador más grande en los 300 años de historia del boxeo, porque nunca jamás había existido un campeón que ganara sus 27 peleas por KO”
"The greates KO artist in the 300 years of boxing history, because never had we seen a champion who had won their 27 fights by Knockout."
I think he's exaggerating a bit but he is one of the hardes punchers in this era, and his sparring partners back up that statement.

My top 10 but not in any order they change around so much.
