What would you say is the best individual showcase of talent division by division?

Heavyweights probably Muhammad Ali Vs Big Cat Cleveland Williams and Joe Louis Vs Max Baer and Buddy Baer II (actually could probably pick any number of Louis fights - he was perfection) other weights I'll come back to you on

 

For me personally Lennox Lewis-Hasim Rahman II was one that stood out for me - I thought that was one of those perfection performances from start to finish Lewis was scintillating in that one he didn't put a foot wrong

 

I remember being greatly impressed with the French Gypsy, Theo Medina vs Jackie Paterson.

His crushing of Paterson demonstrated not only how great a fighter Medina was, but also another example of just how valid and great some of these lesser known Contenders really were, a look through his record also proves that.

it used to be on youtube but someone has taken it down, fantastic it is, similar to Lynch destroying the great little Jackie Brown.

 

Mayweathers performance vs Gatti was and still is a flawless victory if ever iv seen one. Brilliant brilliant performance. Clinically dismantled him in 5 without putting a single foot wrong.


Perfect

 

I'd say his fight against higher regarded at the time Corrales was Mayweather's best performance.

 

Bit obvious, but Calzaghe vs Lacy.

 

Minimumweight - Ricardo Lopez vs Samon Sorjatung (Could be a few to choose form though)
Light Flyweight - Jung Koo Chang vs Hilario Zapata I
Flyweight - Walter McGowan vs Salvatore Burruni II
Super-Flyweight -
Bantamweight - Ruben Olivares vs Lionel Rose
Super-Bantamweight - Wilfredo Gomez vs Albert Davila
Featherweight - Salvador Sanchez vs Danny Lopez I
Super-Featherweight - Floyd Mayweather vs Diego Corrales
Lightweight - Pernell Whittaker vs Greg Haugan / Roberto Duran vs Esteban DeJesus III
Light-Welterweight - Wilfredo Benitez vs Antonio Cervantes
Welterweight - Don Curry vs Milton McCrory
Light-Middleweight - Thomas Hearns vs Roberto Duran
Middleweight - Bernard Hopkins vs Felix Trinidad
Super-Middleweight - Roy Jones Jr vs James Toney
Light-Heavyweight - Harold Johnson vs Doug Jones
Cuiserweight - Evander Holyfield vs Dwight Muhammed Qawi II
Heavyweight - Mike Tyson vs Trevor Berbick

 

Nice list.

Although why Chang-Zapata 1?

And Jones-Toney miles ahead of Cal-Lacy.

 

Chang is just amazing in beating one of the best Light-Flyweights of all time, hell Zapata looks amazing on film.

Yeh forgot about Jones Toney, its obviously number 1
