Ingmar Johanssen--Floyd was his biggest win
Ricardo Mayorga--His highlight was Forrest
Gerry Cooney---The night he beat Norton will always be his greatest moment in the ring
Frankie Randall---Chavez was his highlight
I like your list, Frankie Randall was the highlight (I forgot about him), but Mayarga should not be on the list. Six Heads Lewis was a champ that was getting alot of recognition for his skills at the time and Mayarga was man handling him before the technical stoppage, he then came back in the rematch and dominated Lewis again on way to a brutal KO. That exposed Lewis and he never was the same after those beatings. And is far as Forrest is concerned not only did he KO him but he came back and showed he could beat him in a UD boxing match, he was more than a one hit wonder. After all that he still became the 154 champ after Tito took the life out of his career.
