    I need an example of a tough, highly technical, defensive counterpuncher (ex:pretty Boy Floyd) vs a fast, flashy, unorthodox fighter (ex: Naseem Hamed)

    Something like Toney vs Jones

    Johnny Famechon vs Jose Legra
    Miguel Canto vs Chan-Hee Park

    Kalambay vs Nunn you could say, although I wouldn't use it for a studying point.

    Taylor is more 'generic athletic fighter' than unorthodox IMO :D

    Kongtonaree Payakaroon Vs Khaosai Galaxy
    Juan Manuel Marquez Vs Manny Pacqiuao Trilogy
    Alfredo Escalera Vs Tyrone Everett
    Nonito Donaire Vs Vic Darchinyan

    James Toney vs. Michael Nunn
    Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Manny Pacquiao


    I stretched it with Marquez, who isn't the most defensive fighter.

    McCallum vs Herol Graham would be a good watch.Not that MCCallum is defensive per se, but it fits in otherwise.
