Oscar Diaz.
His fight with Mike Smith was one of the first boxing matches to really capture my attention.
I hope he makes a full recovery some day.

Real tough guy, Diaz.. It's ironic how an average puncher like Rodriguez retired two fighters.. Diaz and now Wolack.. Not saying Wolack retired from being damaged but Delvin put him in that place..Quote:

Sorry I misread it.
I thought Great.
Then not so great; as in two lists.
Should of read it closer.
Emmanuel Burton/Augustus, the guy was always willing, even on a very short notice.
Eric Lucas: he became world champion but by no mean has he been a super talented fighter, he was all work ethics with a very candid and kind personality and if it wouldn't be for him, boxing would never be as popular in Canada(especially in Quebec) as it is now.

I always enjoyed watching the following fighters who were not great -
Roger Mayweather , poor mans Tommy Hearns.
Buddy McGirt , just a pleasure to watch before his shoulder problem.
Carl Thompson , he was not in to many dull fights.
Pat Cowdell , he was a very neat smart boxer , ran Salvador Sanchez close , then Azumah Nelson did him in 1 round.
Tony Sibson , old Sibbo was a real good British fighter , Boxing News actually had him favorite to KO Marvin Hagler .
Nigel Benn , slam bang fighter.
Anthony Farnell,
Michael Gomez,
Jaime Moore,
All manchester lads that came through with Ricky that never quite made it to the top, but all still fun to watch and in good scraps.
Enjoyed watching Michael Brodie too, his fight with In Ji Chi was legendary!
Emmanuel Augustus is by far my pick, he's in no way great, in no way a winner but the man just loved to fight and entertain.
Antonia Tarver
Mayorga, surprised im not seeing him on peoples lists
That guy Donaire fought last, really skillful little fella, poor guy was just out matched
Calzaghe
Jermaine Taylor
Winky Wright
Vinny Paz
Manny Pacqiou ...jk, but i can only imagine how many ppl would flip
Zab judah
sure there is much more but all i can think of

I have a soft spot for Herbie Hide, thought he was going to be the new Ali.
Chico Corrales was special to me ( no homo )
And I almost forgot about Poison Junior Jones and Terry Norris.
