    I think the "ever" part should be adjusted to "since you began following boxing" - unless you've gone back and spent a great deal of time watching fights from previous eras.

    So, this list is from late 80's/early90's:

    a) Roy Jones
    b) Pernell Whitaker/Lennox Lewis
    c) Mike Tyson
    d) Paulie Ayala
    e) Wayne McCullough
    f) Hector Camacho Jr.
    g) Nonito Donaire
    h) Lennox Lewis

    Diego Corrales. I am not sure a two division champion like him qualifies as "not so great fighter that you support". Same for Zab. I think UGO meant guys who were solid contenders at best.
