4. Julio Cesar Chavez
5. Floyd Mayweather Jr.
6. Wilfredo Gomez
7. Thomas Hearns

9. Carlos Zarate
10. Bernard Hopkins

Near miss:

Michael Spinks
Oleksandr Usyk
Ruben Olivares
Larry Holmes
Lennox Lewis
Evander Holyfield
Wilfredo Benitez
Mike Tyson

Damn, good call on Gomez, I wiffed on that one and totally forgot about him and Zarate.

Gomez would make mine and Zarate just on the outside

Spinks greatness is due to his work at Lt Heavy. Arguably makes the Mt Rushmore of Lt Heavyweights, I rank him mostly due to his work as a Lt Heavy. Not by getting knocked out in the last fight of his career to a prime HOF heavyweight while fighting above his best wt class.

that's fair enough!
