    Duran vs. Leonard 1.
    Maybe Forrest vs. Mayorga? I don't like saying that one because I don't like Vernon.

    What other fights can you think of?
    Meldrick Taylor vs Julio Cesar Chavez
    Mike Tyson vs James Douglas
    Clottey vs Margarito (Clottey wouldve won had his hand not have broken)
    Williams vs Quintana

      I don't really see how people thought that was a close fight. To me anything closer than 8-4 is wrong.

        MAB vs. PAC 1.
        MAB was the heavy fav at that time.

                    Taylor-Chavez is the quintessential example. Although if it was in the 15 round era, who knows what we'd be saying about it.
