    Im looking for fights where a fighter wins decisively with perfect boxing technique or a perfect execution of thier style. So no back and forth(which includes alot of great fights) but mostly one sided fights. So far i got
    Toney vs barkley,
    mayweather vs corales
    wright trinidad

    any more?

    You can put Salvador Sanchez over gomez there
    Benitez over duran
    and the greatest for me BARRERA VS HAMMED

    Toney was breathtaking against Barkely. I don't think I've seen many fighters look as good as he did that night. Poor Iran had absolutely no chance.

    Juan Manuel Marquez vs Rocky Jaurez
    Muhammad Ali vs Ernie Terrel, Quarry 2, Cleveland Williams

    If you wanna learn about certain great fighters' styles by seeing them execute them to perfection then Luoghran-Braddock is good, not sure if the whole fight's available though. Its not a one-sided one, but Duran-Leonard 1 is where you can see vintage Duran, or against Cuevas, if you wanna see real Duran, it takes him a while, but check out how he closes the show against Bizzarro, special that. Armstrong-Ross is good, not sure which bouts would be shut-outs, but Jersey Joe Walcott, Mike McCallum, guys like this are really interesting to watch in terms of great boxing, countering, clever movements and feints etc.

    I think Whitaker-Chavez is the best I've seen in this department.

    Chavez - Rosario
    Rosario - Bramble (this fight was all about who would impose their style)

    MAB's performance against Hamed is for me too, the classic statement of textbook, classic boxing skill and technique. It showed that going "by the book" can be a beautiful thing, and it made me a true fan of Barrera.

    Recently Carlos Quintana did a good job of getting it right when he beat Paul Williams, not too good at the secnd go though!

    The difficulty quotient of a clinic is dependent on who it was done against. If you simply want to watch clinics, then Toney-Barkley is a good start. From there, see Duran-Barkley, Barrera-Hamed, and then see if you can get a clear copy of McCallum-Julian Jackson.

    Modern examples include Quintana-Williams, and Barrera-Marquez is a must see.
