    The best fights when both fighters came out guns blazing without even the slightest thought of going the distance?

    Hagler-Hearns will of course win by a landslide (and probably fairly so), but feel free to contribute with some more unexpected calls.

    Castillo-Corralles
    Morales-Barrera (let's say the first one)
    Gatti-Ward (Let's also say the first one)

    You asked for an unexpected call, so I'll say Andrade-Lucas (last year). It was a good scrap involving my favorite boxer on the losing end.

    You want an unexpected call, how bout Forrest-Mayorga I? They were just trading bombs out there.

    I'm not that sold on most of the HW shoot-outs. Too little skilled involved. Jones-and Folley is a big exception, but they would at best be CWs at today's standard.

    Actually, WW-LHW are probably the weight classes that are best represented here, since those fighters often combine power and skill very well.
