If someone gets outclassed can it still be a great fight.

Paulie Malignaggi vs Orlando Lora A very one sided match and can't really call it competitive but it was still a great fight to watch. It really showed what it means to be a pure boxer with technical skills and apply it in a fight not just on a sparring or training matches. Honestly, Miguel Cotto vs Paulie Malignaggi A very competitive fight with "never give up and never surrender" fighter in it. Paulie started out boxing well but Cotto's were heavy and unrelenting and all those took a toll in Paulie's body for 12 rounds. But still 12 rounds Paulie weathered the shots and fought back a very great fight indeed. Erik Morales vs Manny Pacquiao I A very competitive fight and Pacquiao was outclassed in terms of boxing skills. I believe because that fight Pacquiao started learning how to use his right hand more in a boxing match instead of being a one-handed fighter with a simple game plan. Floyd Mayweather vs Juan Manuel Marquez Is a competitive fight. I always maintain that Marquez was the agressor in that fight. And Mayweather maintained his counter punching style that entrapped and flummoxed Marquez all night long because 1). Marquez is never an aggressive fighter and 2). Marquez style is counter punching which he couldn't fully utilized against Mayweather who is also a counter puncher.

Katsidis/Marquez comes to mind.

Trinidad vs Mayorga.

klitchko arreola was pretty awesome.

Mosley - Margarito Mayweather - Corrales

Khan vs Maidana comes to mind, i mean cmon maidana looked like an average dude against the athletic talents of khan, but the fight God damn! One of my favorites. ... But really really outclassed well... most RJJ fights Most Pac fights Most Mayweather fights IMO I just love to watch boxing. Damn if Maidana looked like an "average dude" against Khan in a fight with scores of 111-114,111-114, 112-113...I can't imagine what a good fighter, or better yet an elite fighter would do to Khan.

I like Monzon-Briscoe 2.

i was entertained when pac outclassed margarito

I thought Hopkins-Tarver was entertaining. Ali-Wepner is the classic example

Hopkins-Trinidad comes to mind That was a great fight. Trinidad, though outclassed, fought with everything he had till Bernard finished him off in the 12th. Heck, GP did a highlights video for it. Great stuff:
