    Quite a few good heavyweight ones actually.

    Dempsey Vs Firpo
    Louis vs Charles
    Marciano Vs Walcott
    Marciano Vs Charles
    Patter Vs Johannosen (especially III, but the series is worth watching)

    Adding on to Vesti's

    Foreman vs Lyle
    Morrison vs Mercer

    Also I'd add Pryor vs Arguello, Hagler vs Hearns and Hagler vs Mugabi

    There are dozens of others I could think of if given time but these are off the top of my head

    When I think of a brawl or pure action fight I think of Chacon-Boza 2 as the greatest 12 round pure action fight ever.

    Over 15, Chacon-Limon 4 is the greatest brawl I've seen.

    If you like a bit of science with your action, that widens the pool a bit. But those two stand out as great 'brawls'.

    I think the first Whyte-Chisora brawl from a couple of years back deserves a mention.

    Joichiro Tatsuyoshi vs Singwacha. Just watch it. Seriously.

    Hatakeyama vs Sakamoto. A fight for pride and Honor. One of my favourites.

    Ray Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim. One of the best, though I've only watched it once due to the ending.

    Katsuya Onizuka vs Hyung Chul Lee. The unfortunate end of Onizuka's career, suffering from detached retina, but what a war it was!

    Dick Tiger vs Henry Hank. One of the strongest p4p fighters ever versus the slick, eccentric, power punching Hank. Awesome.

    I'll ad some more bouts if I remember them.

    Check out @Russell youtube channel. He has a playlist of obscure / forgotten wars. Minimumweight has some right belters.

    Somsak Sithchatchawaln vs Mahyar Monshipour is out of this world! I've watched it several times - but I never stop being amazed by the non-stop barrage of punches unleashed by both men. Unbelievable!

    Although I've said many times.. but Jofre Medel is the best brawl I've ever seen in boxing. Next to that is Shavers-Lyle (I'm sorry becuz HWs)
    Jofre-Medel and Shavers-Lyle are very very obsecure, yet very very entertaining.

    I'll give you one that gets overlooked.
    A underrated gem from the 80's and
    one of the best pure boxer vs pure
    puncher fights of the era.
    Howard Davis Jr. vs Tony Baltazar.
