It is interesting to note, that nearly all of the fights i considered or rather all of the fights which were impressive and entertaining enough to stand out from the crowd were the resultant of a classic Clash of styles.
A classic Boxer vs. an aggresive puncher.
(Note: the fights quality obviously was governed by the quality of both fighters.)
Here are some of the fights that really stand out in my memory;
Julio Caesar Chavez vs. Meldrick Taylor 1
Erik Morales vs. Wayne McCullough
Roberto Duran vs. Sugar Ray Leonard 1
Sugar Ray Robinson vs. Jake La Motta 6
Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali 1,2&3
Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy
Nigel Benn vs. Chris Eubank
Marco Antonio Barerra vs. Erik Morales
Barry McGuigan vs. Pedroza.
Ken Buchanan vs. Roberto Duran.
Anyone else care to suggest any other fights as i would like to obtain more fights of this pedigree.
I'm sorry mate but Eubank was not a classic boxer he was awkward and threw a right cross like he was swatting a fly !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
