One fighter that should have made my top 10 list that I forgot to include is George Foreman. I'd rate him over Joe Frazier. Prime Roy Jones Jr. would be my #12.

Forget about one, I want one for each division.
Bantamweight: Ruben Olivares. Rockabye Ruben was a KO artist with a crowd-pleasing style.
Junior Featherweight: Wilfredo Gomez. We could use some more good Puerto Rican-Mexican matchups.
Featherweight: Naseem Hamed. He brought a lot of attention to the sport and featherweight division.
Junior Lightweight: Bobby Chacon. Similar to Arturo Gatti and Matthew Saad Muhammad, he had a lot of great back-and-forth brawls.
Lightweight: Henry Armstrong. Most of his title defenses were at welterweight, but size-wise he was a lightweight.
Junior Welterweight: Julio Cesar Chavez. Attacking fighter with subtle, brilliant skills, entertaining, active, with an enormous fan base.
Welterweight: Sugar Ray Leonard. Boxing needs more mainstream stars. Leonard was the real deal, not just an Olympic hype machine.
Junior Middleweight: Julian Jackson. I miss freakishly powerful punchers.
Middleweight: Sugar Ray Robinson. Probably the greatest ever, he was better at welterweight, but the other Sugar Ray is there, so let's move Walker Smith to 160.
Super Middleweight: James Toney. Very active champion, fun to watch for his skills, loud mouth has the hate-him-or-love-him type persona.
Light Heavyweight: Matthew Saad Muhammad. One of the most entertaining fighters ever.
Cruiserweight: Evander Holyfield. This division has a crappy history, but a great in Holyfield probably peaked here.
Heavyweight: Mike Tyson. No explanation needed.
