    Looking for fights where boxers dominated their opponents through technical skills and precision (as opposed to power and aggression). Fights that exemplify the art of hitting without getting hit...

    Nice list. Hopkins-Trinidad and Mayweather-Corrales were the first that came to mind for me. I missed Abril-Rios and Lara-Williams the first time around; will check them out soon.

    Rigo vs Teon Kennedy fits perfectly here.

    This is Rigo at his finest and why I'm a diehard fan of his despite his occasional stinker. He was about as perfect as a fighter can look here.

    May/Corrales.

    That's the best ever performance in that division's history.

    Also, it HAS TO BE Floyd's best performance of his career.

    Marlon Starling-Lloyd Honeyghan
    Wilfredo Benitez - Carlos Palomino
    Michael Watson-Nigel Benn

    These were counter-punching masterpieces.

    Chavez-Rosario is an absolute clinic on infighting.

    Not quite fitting the mould but i thought Jones whupping of Toney was a fine portrait of blistering speed and unorthodox skill.

    Holmes shutout of Shavers was good too, even if Shavers was quite limited skill wise.

    Whitaker has quite a few and Camacho's schooling of Ramirez was excellent.

    Kalambay-McCallum, Goyo Vargas v Paul Hodkinson. In some of Naseem Hamed's earlier fights, he was untouchable but that was more down to his incredible agility and speed rather than boxing technical ability, just like Ali-Williams.
