The three you listed deserve the mention you gave them. All three possess tons of boxing knowledge from a historical standpoint and I have learned from them as have many.
I would add the names SABBATH, cple, and Brassangel.
It seems there are others; but my mind is drawing a blank at the moment.
In terms of boxing history I'd say Kid Achilles and Yogi.
(And by history I mean decades upon decades ago, not the 1990's MW division, Geoff.)
I don't know much about the 90's MW division tbh, other that it seemed almost dead with every one moving up and that Hopkins was one of the title holders.
Yogi and Sabbath tied for #1 for me. cple I haven't seen around but the guy had some serious boxing education. SuzieQ is young but learning fast. Brassangel and K-Dogg are smart guys as well. Smasher was incredibly knowledgeable but he's gone.
Asian Sensation is no slouch when it comes to contemporary fighters but he is biased in favor of NYC guys IMO.

Haha, nah I'm no biased. I picked Lyakhovich to stop Briggs, cut me some slack. If they're fighting nobodies, I have to pick the NY guy. I'm preparing an article to figure out why NY fighters have been falling short lately.
But I know my old school fighters too, I know my shizzle for shizzle.
