As you can see I like slick boxers :)
I love your list. They all make my favorite 20...and my greatest 25. I noticed you Saud favorite, not greatest...so I can respect your omission of Sugar Ray Robinson. Being 42, I acknowledge him as the greatest, but since he didn't do it in my lifetime it would be hard to call him a favorite. I never rooted for him while he did his thing.
Great list.
My 5 would be Ali, Mayweather, Jones, Leonard, and Trinidad
All, except Pernell Whitaker, are my all-time favorite boxers. Ali is my number one followed closely by Leonard, Jones and Mayweather. My fifth choice is Willy Pep.
No Walker Smith Jr. aka 'Sugar' Ray Robinson even Ali frequently called him 'the greatest (pound for pound) boxer of all time
If you like slick fighters...you've got to know your history. Watch Willie Pep... Watch Sugar Ray Robinson... Watch Ike Williams (if you really want to see something amazing, watch Ike Williams vs Beau Jack)... Watch Jack Johnson (who used to literally catch his opponents' fist and talk to them)... Watch Tony Canzoneri.... Watch Gene Tunney... Watch Ezzard Charles... Watch Henry Armstrong... Watch Midget Wolgast... Watch Joe Gans! There's a lineage of "slick fighters" that will give you so many thrills.
I like all your choices apart from Roy Jones Jr.
I can't get on board with any boxer who takes steroids
