    Who are the good boxers nowadays?

    I used to be a big boxing fan but haven't been following the science for the last few years. Watched Marquez KO pacquiao recently, golovkin vs macklin and a few Friday night fights replays and I'm getting interested in following boxing again but I don't know who's exciting to watch. To put it into perspective, I am more familiar with guys like lennox lewis, john ruiz, roy Jones, Oscar, Vargas, Mosley, trinidad, hopkins, winky wright, zab Judah, Barrera, morales, pretty boy floyd, and that era. Nowadays I recognize the klitschkos, Floyd, cotto, pacquiao, and Juan Manuel Marquez but not much more. I see people talking about canelo Alvarez, Sergio Martinez, gennady golovkin, adrien broner and Andre ward and I was wondering who else is good? And what are some good fights to watch from the last couple years?

                Watched both rios Alvarado fights, berto vs Ortiz, maidana vs Lopez, rigondeuax vs donaire, khan vs Garcia, and matthysse vs Lamont Peterson. Damn there's some exciting boxers out there right now! And I don't remember seeing a division so stacked like 140 is right now
