    I always remember Eddie Mustapha Muhammed's Body Punching Master-Class against Marvin Johnson

    Also i Liked Mike Rossman's Long Range work off the Jab Textbook display Against Victor Galindez in fight 1 ... Albeit Galindez in poor condition Mentally and Physically...

    Marco Antonio Barreras Use of old Fashioned Fundamentals against Nazz Hamed was also Memorable

    Kalambay-McCallum 1 is better than anything Floyd has ever done.

    Don't know if it makes the cut but any boxing fan should really watch Buddy McGirt's win over Simon Brown. Man looked a like genius in there on that evening.

    For a two-man display of technical ability, nothing that I've seen matches McCallum-Kalambay II. His fights with Curry and Toney also ranks very highly in this category. The one with Watson as well, actually.

    Most brutal technical fight I've seen is probably Castillo-Corrales. It's a bit like Marquez-Barrera and Gatti-Ward rolled into one.

    Marquez-Barrera is one of the great technical displays as well.

    At HW, it would have to be Holy-Bowe I. That is actually the HW equivalent of Castillo-Coralles.

    Oh, and how could I forget about Sanchez-Gomez. Duran-De Jesus II isn't half shabby either. And Leonard-Benitez, Leonard-Duran I... Impossible to limit myself to a top 5, apparently.

    For 2 way technical battles:

    Donald Curry - Starling 2
    Mike McCallum - Kalambay 2/ Graham/ Toney 1 & 2/ Curry
    Juan Manuel Marquez - Barrera/ Casamayor/ Pacquiao 2
    Pernell Whitaker - McGirt 1
    Harold Johnson - Ezzard Charles
    Ricardo Lopez - Alvarez 2

    Roman Gonzalez against Estrada deserves a shout out.

    In terms of a technical demolition job, Curry-McCrory is my favorite. Tyson-Spinks is also phenomenal, but it's over a bit too quickly to get to enjoy as much.
