Your question is vague. Since you exclude heavyweights, that makes things interesting. Also, since you didn't include any time period, this becomes a bit more of a challenge because there were some groups who are considered White today, but were not considered White American at the time they fought.
.
We'll just include everyone who could pass for White American. Also, I'm not sure if you mean Favorite or Best, according to opinion.
1. Harry Greb: I'd be surprised to see Greb excluded from any list.
2. Benny Leonard: He was king of the lightweights before Duran took over.
3. Mickey Walker: He almost became the only 155 lb. heavyweight champion.
4. Gene Tunney: One of the smartest men to grace the ring.
5. Willie Pep: Clearly had the best foot work of his era.
6. Tony Canzoneri: His style was before his time.
7. Billy Conn: Came within minutes of upsetting the Great Joe Louis.
8. Barney Ross: Ross' defensive abilities are often overshadowed by later fighters.
9. Stanley Ketchel: Might rank a bit higher if not for that his style is a bit out-dated.
10. Jimmy Wilde: One of the toughest little men ever.
.
Some personal favorites.
.
Ray Mancini: I met him a few times. Super nice guy
Vinny Pazienza: I know he goes by Paz now but I also met him many times and attended some of his fights. I lived near him.
Charlie "White Lightning" Brown: I sparred 3 rounds with him. He kicked myass.
Kenny Bogner: I knew him personally. I wanted to spar him but I was nowhere near his level. He was older than me and would have beat me up.
Arturo Gatti: How can you not admire him?
Mickey Ward: How can you not admire him as well?
Ur talkin al ltime, but we cant list heavies?
Most of ur best fighters WERE heavies....
