Willie Pep, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano, Carmen Basilio, Johnny Dundee (nom de plume for Guiseppe Carrora, the "Scotch Wop"), Joey Maxim (same) Giardello, Carmen Basilio, LaMotta and Benvenuti...only a couple of Italian nationals. Carnera belongs, despite the myth about his incompetence...he had skills the better of Valuev, close to Klitschko, certainly equal to Willard's w/out the power, Antefurmo belongs, perhaps. Tough call. First 10 my pick.
