What is the most amount of skill in one fight?

Many who have viewed all 15 rounds of Canzi's SD defense of his LW Title on November 20, 1931 consider that to be their favorite Championship Distance bout of all time.

By 1935, his legs had slowed, but his incredible savvy resulted in a masterful title win over a peak and youthful Lou Ambers. He was also a capable puncher and could finish matters against fellow ATGs with one shot.

With the absence of footage, this is speculative, of course, though the skill on display when Benny Leonard fought Jack Britton must have been considerable.

 

Maske shadowboxing in a mirror.

Maske v Maske can be the only answer.

 

Canzie- McLarnin 1 and Ambers 1 are two of my favorites. Of the two, I prefer McLarnin 1, though.
Tony once said he should have quit after the first McLarnin fight, his performance was so good.

 

Benitez v Cervantes and Herol Graham v Kalambay

 

I absolutely love Canzi-McLarnin I ! Tony often gets overlooked today because of how revered he was during his peak years. Guys like Barney Ross simply were not considered in that pantheon of ATGs when at their best. (Loughran was always revered like Canzi, boosted by Corbett's endorsement that Tommy had perfected what Gentleman Jim himself said he'd always aspired to. Frequently, old timers disparage newer competitors, but guys like Langford and Walker greatly admired Joe Louis, and there were other such exceptions. Loughran has been blasted for drawing the color line, but Tommy later was key in helping to develop Harold Johnson.)

 

Recently rewatched Orlando Canizales vs Wilfredo Vazquez Sr and I think that fight should be mentioned. Very good technical fight.

De La Hoya v Mosley 1 is one I never tire of watching, plenty of skills in that one.

 

Pryor-Arguello 1 lived up to all of the hype and then some. So many different angles in the ring from those two boxers. Both great finishers known for stopping people.. and that's just how they fought.

 

Time to add Devin Haney vs Vasyl Lomachenko.

 

It could’ve been one of Charles vs Moore fights. That’s my best guess for the time being.

 

I think Duran sparring me would have more combined skill then those two- with all due respect they’re relative amateurs.

 

Did you actually see the fight? It was a nice display of skills from both guys. Of course they’re not Duran’s level but I can appreciate modern fighters as well.

 

I haven’t seen it, I don’t like either guy honestly, I’ve seen both fight and I don’t believe they’re in a tier with the greats.

 

Calzaghe v Lacey.
Joe was exceptional, against the supposed more skilful American.
Hagler v Sibson.
Hagler never gave Sibbo a chance. Marvin was at his peak.
