Guys, can somebody make a list of fighters of the years for the last 10-15 years?

I dont keep track and it would be nice to look back at each year.

Just realised that about Duran myself!

Was '78 the year Ali became 3 time heavy champ? If it was it would have been big news at the time and probably would have qualified him at the time.
