    Seems like technical fights don't get enough attention, but some technical fights are really great and exciting fights. Post up your suggestions because I want to be exposed to more.

    My favorite is James Toney vs Mike Mccallum I

    others I've seen:
    Toney vs Mccallum II
    Ray Leonard vs Wilfred Benitez
    James Toney vs Michael Nunn

    The fight Charles versus Walcott 1951 showed excellent boxing. Walcott won the title then.

    I was gonna say Toney vs McCallum but you already mentioned that. God I could just watch that fight every day, and never get bored. The skills on display are just breathtaking.

    Lupe Pintor - Albert Davila II
    Alan Minter - Ronnie Harris

    You would applaud after both fights.

    Whitaker-McGirt I was outstanding, and the first time I thought Whitaker was in a tight fight.

    Almost any McCallum fight really specially the first one against Toney, the Kalambay fights, Watson,Curry etc, the first Toney fight is probably the most skilled war i have ever seen.

    Donald Curry - Marlon Starling 2 was a great highly competitive chessmatch fought mostly on the inside.

    Nobody schooled James "The Heat" Kinchen over the distance. As competent as any technician not to become a world champion in the 1980s [although many believed he earned a decision over Hearns for the inaugural WBO SMW Title].

    Kinchen, at 5'9-1/4" is the shortest opponent widely considered to have gotten the better of Hearns over the limit.

    Willie Pastrano-Harold Johnson is another great technical fight.
