I actually figured out Boom Boom Mancini later because his birthday was Friday and they mentioned it on the radio.

I know I'm super late to the party here, but I would have said:

1) Hirsch
2) Ray Mancini
3) No idea. Never would have guessed Hafner
4) Darryl Dawkins
5) I would petition the commitee for the inclusion of Bret Hart. He may not have competed in a "real" sport, but he was the Excellence of Execution.
