Moorer v Cooper is my personal favourite.
I also like Holyfield v Dokes.

What makes it really great is Cosell's commentary.
"This is not artistic, but it is SLUGGING!"
"AHHHH now George struck back! George struck back!"

Untold amounts of punching power in that fight.
Thriller in Manilla is an obvious one for me.
Belive it or not, the first Skelton v Williams fight made me wince a little. Especially when that blood came pissing out of Skelton's head :X
