    Locche vs Fuji/Cervantes I

    Surely Pep vs Saddler II even if there's no film. Saddler found out ways to get to Pep in all their other matches, but not in this one.

    Walcott vs Louis I. The greatest puncher of all time largely nullified.

    On a smaller significance scale, Jack Sharkey put on a classy exhibition against Jim Maloney in their last bout, having completely figured out Maloney's fighting pattern.

    James Toney vs Iran Barkley a boxing masterpeice
    Floyd Mayweather vs Arturo Gatti (in six rounds gatti only lands 10 punches)
    Ivan Calderon vs Jesus Iribe (this is no where near one of the greatest but its good defence from Calderon)
    look up some nicolino loche fights ive never seen a full fight only highlights but his defence is ****ing awsome
