Fight with most skill level in the ring at once?

Ken BUchanan Vs Ismeal Laguna
Meldrick Taylor Vs Howard Davis Jr
Mike McCallum Vs James Toney (1st)
Eddie Machen Vs Zora Folly (1st)

 

Charles-Walcott I

 

Juan Manuel Marquez vs. Marco Antonio Barrera
Donald Curry vs. Marlon Starling II

 

First thing I thought of. Magnificent display of skill by both men. I can watch that fight over and over and over and still see new, subtle things that I had missed.

 

Heavyweights - for me at least which is no saying much but Rocky Marciano vs Joe Louis pitted my No.1 of all time against my No.3 of all time so that is MY highest ranking pairing of fighters in the same ring - unfortunately a shopworn Louis but all the same certainly my two highest ranking heavies to have fought

 

For me, even though Luguna was at the end of his career, the first bout with Buchanan has always stood out here as two high skilled boxers head to head.

 

James J. Corbett - Kid McCoy featured two boxing masters in spite of rumors of McCoy going into the tank.

 

Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko was a match up of 2 of the best Heavyweights of all time. Even though they didn't showcase their ("boxing") skills in that fight because usually both rely on their height/reach advantage over their opponents, but when they faced each other, that advantage wasn't there for either of them, so they just outbrawled it in one of the biggest wars the heavyweight division ever saw.

 

Pastrano-Johnson was a 15 round skill-fest.

 

I'll echo Leonard-Benitez as well.

 

This fight exhibited Vitali's UNBELIEVABLE set of whiskers....probably the best chin of any heavyweight champ.

 

canzoneri vs chocklate on film aint bad

 

McCallum's 2nd fight with Kalambay was a few levels above the Toney fight for pure technical skill from both fighters.

McCallum looked drained from it and past his prime against james imo.still really nice looking, but he faded badly over the last third and ended up very sloppily.

 

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Thomas Hearns I
