    Obviously, the Kalambay-Graham-McCallum triangle. Nunn-Starling maybe, Nunn-Toney, McCallum-Toney, McCallum-Watson, Eubank-Watson, Nunn-Kalambay! Lots of middleweight ones around that time.

    Leonard-Benitez stands out as one of the best.

    The obvious for me would be Harold Johnson vs Willie Pastrano. It happened in June 1963 but it doesn't hurt at all to watch the You Tube videos of it. The vids are in excellent condition and are in beautiful B/W.

    How about Gans vs Griffo or Leonard vs Welsh? Loughran vs Tunney, Spinks vs Judah I, and Bey vs Vazquez qualify.
