    Post some fights where great displays of technical skill and abilty were on display. They dont necessarily have to be very entertaining or well known, but a fight with a high level of offenseive and defensive skill by both men often looks good anyway. Ill start with an obvious one

    James toney-Mike Mccalum 1. Entertaining, high action fight aswell as having technical brilliance.

    Pernell Whitaker-Buddy Mcgirt 1. Another beautiful display by both men. Two great ''boxers'' in this fight.

    Since we are all thinking about Genaro Hernandez and what a great person and fighter he was, any fight Genaro fought was with great technical skill. The Delahoya/Hernandez fight in the first few rounds was incredible. Not much landed, but it was intense and heated. Both guys could not land because of the great counterpunching skill of the other.

    Charles-Walcott series
    Curry-Mccallum
    Mccallum-Kalambay 2
    Sanchez-Gomez
    Carbajal-Gonzalez 1
    Hagler-Duran
    Hearns-Benitez
    DLH-Pea

    Also, I saw Taylor-Wright mentioned in this thread and the smaller Wright backed him up and Taylor looked horrible most of the times. He never showed great technical skill just atleticism and lack of the ability to adapt. Every other example is good.
