    really good point, but from a pure performance/exhibition of skills, it's hard to improve on those

    Sal Sanchez-Wilfredo Gomez for me. One of the finest super bantamweights ever vs one of the best featherweights the ring's seen; Sanchez put forth a fantastic performance against a fighter and puncher of the highest caliber squarely in both men's primes.

    Whitaker vs Chavez
    Whitaker in all honesty made the great Chavez look like an amature, so sad corruption ruined the outcome of the fight, but that was a masterful performance by Whitaker.

    His fights against Haugen and Nelson were more impressive to tell the truth. Pea may be the best fighter I have seen on film as far as consistency is concerned. The guy had SEVERAL masterclasses.

    I wouldn't say so, but a great performance nonetheless.

    Floyd-Gatti isnt that impressive considering DLH,Baldomir,Manfredy and Gomez did the same to Gatti who lets be honest was a B - level fight. Floyd vs Diego Corrales is much better.

    Good thread!

    wouldn't know where to start! I'll be boring and say ALI - Williams but...

    Pacqiao v ODLH should be mentioned.

    RJJ v Pazienza, Tyson - Berbick also
