List 1fight that perfectly demonstrated a fighter's style, attributes, &/or identity.

Mayweather vs. Ndou was amazing

 

Joe Frazier vs George Chuvalo.

Frazier uses the bob and weave plus back and forth movement beautifully to avoid damage while grinding down the bigger, stronger Chuvalo. Body attack, movement, vicious hooks, it's everything good about Frazier at his best. After a couple of rounds Frazier has knocked Chuvalo's cheekbones in and the ref waves a stop to it.

It can even be surprising about Chuvalo: he has surprising hand speed and combinations rather than being the punching bag you'd expect. It's just that his feet move like they're encased in lead.

Tyson vs Pinklon Thomas.

This might seem an odd choice but it's one I like, because ti shows both some of the best of Tyson and some of his worst in one fight, at a time when even the worst nuthuggers can't claim that he's no longer in his prime.

For the good, you have Tyson's speed, his power, explosiveness, the killer instinct when he has an opponent in trouble, the variety of hard punches, and some spots of his his head movement as he comes inside.

For the bad you have his vulnerability inside, both to clinches and his own habit of being lazy even when his hands are free, the ability for him to be frustrated by and caught with jabs while coming in, (and keep in mind by this stage Thomas no longer really had the sharp jab he did when he was younger due to shoulder issues) and, perhaps most subtly, how Tyson kind of gets locked into one mode. When something isn't working he doesn't really try something different, he keeps on the same track regardless of the lack of success.

a couple of obvious ones but still:

Frazier vs. Ali 1 for Frazier - exceptional inside fighter getting the better of atg outside boxer.

Ali vs. Foreman - Ali's craftiness, durability and determination gets him the win.

Vitali Klistchko vs. Arreola - way for an outside-type fighter to control range against a flat-footed brawler. This impressed me because VK stuck to his gameplan the entire fight without tiring.

Bernard Hopkins vs. Pascal 2 - B-Hop using his savvy to tire out his younger, stronger, faster and bigger opponent and beat him up.
