I can't take credit for this list; it was in a write-up on badleft hook.com, by Ryan Bivins (see link below). I wouldn't argue strongly with the selections and their place on the list:
1. Kid Gavilan
2. Kid Chocolate
3. Jose Napoles
4. Luis Rodriguez
5. Joel Casamayor
6. Sugar Ramos
7. Jose Legra
8. Kid Tunero
9. Benny Paret
10. Florentino Ferandez

Why was every other Cuban boxer back in the day named "Kid"?
I agree. These are the top three current Cubans. I might throw in Yoan Pablo Hernandez as #4 and Richar Abril as #5. Odlanier Solis could've been #3 or 4 if he wasn't such an unmotivated waste of potential.
