    Any more suggestions? I figured with so many HW-centric posts on this board there'd be more feedback.

    Here's some more to add to my original list (remember I'm looking for high-action bouts not necessarily historically significant or great strategic fights) :

    Tommy Morrison v Donovan Ruddock
    Tommy Morrison v Carl Williams
    Larry Holmes v Gerry Cooney
    Larry Holmes v Mike Weaver I
    Larry Holmes v Tim Witherspoon
    Ron Lyle v Earnie Shavers
    Foreman v Frazier II
    Alex Stewart v Ezra Sellers
    Leon Spinks v Eddie Lopez
    Joe Frazier v Oscar Bonavena I

    Close. . . . . but no donut.

    What about the late 70's / early 80's? Guys like Tate, Dokes, Weaver, Snipes, Leon Spinks, Witherspoon, Cooney, Tucker, Tillis, Pinklon Thomas.

    Any closet classics amongst those guys?
