        For B:

        Carl Froch vs. Jermain Taylor, I first thought of Abraham vs. Taylor but that wasn't a title fight.

        Zslot Erdei vs. Mehdi Sahnoune Is another recent one that comes to mind.

        Shane Mosley vs. Ricardo Mayorga I think was for some version of a major Light-Middle belt, to be honest I'm not sure.
