Great atmosphere/Great back-and-forth fights:
Trinidad-Vargas (young, undefeated, proud, power-punching champions slugging it out)
Cotto-Margarito (dramatic fight with great action if you can overlook controversy)
Gómez-Pintor (two guys giving it their absolute all)
Gatti-Ward I (the best one in the trilogy)
Barrera-Morales I (the best one in the trilogy)
Pacquiao-Márquez I and II (tremendously technical and brutal)
Ali/Frazier I and III (can't decide which one was more dramatic)
Victor Ortiz-Marcos Maidana (up and down all night)
Honorable mentions:
Martínez-Williams I (Williams got more than he bargained for)
Juan Manuel Márquez-Juan Díaz I (the "Baby Bull" shows heart)
James Kirkland-Brian Vera (Kirkland throws everything and Vera...just...won't...stop)
Brutal beatdowns (horrifying to watch):
Pacquiao-Cotto (Dormammu: "Run! Ruuuuuuuuuuuun!")
Pacquiao-Margarito (The whole stadium was apparently oblivious to Margarito's grotesque face)
Pacquiao-Oscar de la Hoya (Pacquiao batters Oscar mercilessly and shocks the world)
Pacquiao-David Díaz (brutal ending and bloody)
"Where the hell did that come from?!":
Martínez-Williams II
Jones, Jr.- Tarver II
Pacquiao-Hatton
Hearns-Durán
Dmitry Pirog-Daniel Jacobs (meh?)

This thread has any fight anyone here would think of, and some they wouldn't.
for one sided boxing clinics look at
Hopkins v Pavlik
Hopkins v Pascal
Mayweather v Corrales
for all out wars with great technical ability
Hagler v Hearns
Pacquiao v Marquez
Barrera v Morales I
Corrales v Castillo I
for stunning KO's have a gander at:
Pacquiao v Hatton
Hopkins v De La Hoya
Hatton v Castillo
Tarver v Jones Jr
Mayweather v Hatton
Donaire v Montiel
those are mainly recent fights or famous fights just to get started with. you'll usually find more yourself just by watching fight after fight after fight.
go to youtube.com, and I dont want to see you on this forum again until you've watched all those mentioned my man :)
