    Chacon-Limon
    Fullmer-Robinson
    Tokashiki-Madera

    Any other good ones? I can't think of any others off the top of my head.

    You gotta give Saddler-Pep IV some love for being one of the dirtiest fights of all time.

    They wrestled each other to the canvas several times, were warned during and between every round for their tactics, three times they managed to toss themselves through the ropes and once they even took the ref down with them.

    Pep was up on 2 of 3 cards (very narrowly) when he retired in his corner.

    In four fights, Pep won a decision (in the second fight), was stopped in the fourth (first fight) and Saddler made him quit twice.

    their fourth fight was very entertaining if you want a good laugh really; the third fight was pretty dirty as well

    Like a boss he did. Pep had one masterclass performance against him but he mostly got kicked around the ring — Saddler dominated one of the best ever. That’s why he’s the No. 1 featherweight of all time in my book.

    While I don't agree, Saddler is high enough in my book that he's reasonably viable for #1. One of the hardest punchers P4P for sure.
