    Yeah, those are very exciting and action packed. Not as great in terms of technical skill, though.

    Near enough anything with JMM in it.

    Marquez/Vasquez (any of the first three)
    Eubank/Benn
    Lewis/Mercer
    Kelly/Naz

    Oh, and Gatti/Ward. Kinda goes without saying though...

    Lewis vs Mercer definitely doesn't have the non-stop action I'm thinking of here. Nor does any of the Eubank/Benn fights.

    Marquez/Vasquez might just qualify as well as Castillo/Corrales, even though they lasted longer than the ones I mentioned. Fantastic fights in every aspect.

    Brutal, brutal fights.

    For fights going the distance they are as close as any to qualify.

    I do prefer more technical wars like Marquez/Vasquez and Castillo/Corrales, though. Or Marquez/Barrera, Barrera/Morales.

    It's a good paced and exciting fight, but not in any way a toe to toe battle like Hearns-Hagler or McCallum-Jackson. Eubank is circling around the ring.

    Ricardo Lopez-Rosendo Alvarez is both technical and non stop. Very good fight.
