      Thats a very good list. Danny "Little Red" Lopez was far more exciting the many of those guys though.

      Ironic but fighters that were limited but had a big heart are usually the best to watch.

            Good call. One of my idols and I leave him off this list. He deserves to be on this list.

              Lopez would have been on this list, but his last major fight was 30 years ago. All-time, he would be in my top 10 most exctiing.

                Gomez also should be on this list. Hearns and Gomez were more exciting than many of the names I mentioned. Thank you

                  No list is complete without Erik Morales. He should be up around the top of anyones list.

                    Yes, another name I forgot to mention. I will amend my list later on.
