    Maybe not the best, but highly memorable: Castillo v Corrales I.

    Another good example would be John David Jackson vs Jorge Castro. A fight so one sided that it ended up with the fighter getting dominated becoming victorious in the end.

    I thought Donald Curry was looking great until McCallum caught him. Tommy Hearns was looking like he would win a UD in the first fight against Leonard until he got hurt again.

    Tommy Hearns vs Leonard for me Hearns was dominating Leonard pretty much won every round and at that point only way Leonard could win was getting a knockout, and then Leonard gets a second wind and knocks him out.

    Donnie Lalonde arguably had the best performance of his career and put Leonard down in the 4th, only for Leonard to comeback and stop Lalonde in the 9th. That was a good fight.
