    I would do a list, but I've been restricted...

    I'd say the fight with the highest combined greatness, that we can see, is probably Duran vs Leonard 1.

    My favourite between 2 ATGs (or borderline) is probably Morales vs Barrera 1

    Duran vs Leonard or Greb vs Walker.

    Honorable mention to Canzoneri / McClarnin / Ross / Ambers / Armstrong and Harada vs Jofre.

    Hagler vs. Hearns as for the peaks they were in. The the fight materialized because both guys were at the top. Usually in a fight there is one fighter not peaking or not prime yet and we get a disappointment but in this fight it had to be great and it was.
