    Toney/Mccallum 1 is probably my favorite high skilled fight ever.

    The fight that demonstrated to me how technical boxing can be, and actually moved me away from my 1st love Martial Art Isshin Ryu Karate .
    Leonard vs Benitez.
    For 15rds this fight demonstrates the best boxing has to offer for a true fan of just skills. A beautiful ballet of skill set , toughness, and physicality. A Chess match that makes today's " skilled " fighters look like their playing checkers......

    Yeah that’s a good one. To a lesser degree Torres vs Willie is a good fencing match.

    Toney McCallum I is my favourite fight ever. Perfect clash of styles. I liked the technical aspect to the Nunn Toney fight but that was more Nunn dominating so it didn’t go both ways so much. I kind of feel that way about Leonard Benitez too. Although they were both unbelievable technicians Leonard was comfortably winning. I think Toney McCallum was as good as it gets all things considered.

    Toney vs McCallum I and II
    Ward vs Kovalev I
    Larry Holmes vs Ken Norton

    Floyd vs Cotto was also really good. Seeing Floyd transition back to PBF that night made it a good technical brawl

    Toney-McCallum 1. What a great mix of technical skills and action.

    That didn't happen. Started well but lost his way after 4 rounds... Calzaghe barely trained at that stage of his career too & still won.. & there's a difference between spoiling & play acting... it was also probably the worst 'elite' matchup I've ever seen.. mostly down to Hopkins.

    Oh yeah,liked John vs Marquez.

    It was a fair decision, although the hometown advantages might have swayed the decision's rep itself.
