The f-16 and eurofighter are both unstable aircraft, fast, great acceleration and light.
The f-15 is built to be very agile, but so is the F-22, which has it's thrust-vectoring which gives it a great advantage.

I don't know much about the Russian fighters, but the su-27 flanker series is likely to be rather agile as well... So those the Terminator or Berkut...
 
You have roll, pitch, and yaw in degrees per second (sustained and instantaneous) as well as energy retention/loss and acceleration... all of which vary according to speed, density-altitude, weight and CG. In short, there's not really an answer to that question unless you're a hell of a lot more specific than "most agile" (though I'm sure the fanboys will be happy to argue about it).
