    Styles make fights. Generally, boxer vs brawler match-ups are intriguing because of the clash of styles (Chavez-Taylor). Also, brawler vs brawler matches are entertaining (though some can be sloppy), due to the high intensity & violence (Gatti-Ward). But what about when its boxer vs boxer?Can you name any fights involving 2 technical boxers that was entertaining?

    Toney-McCallum 1 immediately comes to mind.

    Rafael Herrera-Chuco Castillo 2 is another one.

    I'm sure there are loads...

    What style would you classify Ken Norton as?

    He had a sort of tricky style. Tim Witherspoon had a similar type of stance. Both of them had good fights with Larry Holmes (especially Norton)

    Maybe Mosley-De La Hoya 1 as well?

    Marquez-Barrera was a lot of fun as well.
