With Ali you could argue Ali-Moore but Ali Liston was probably more iconic

Leonard-camacho (until ol' chavez came round the corner)

To an extent Tyson-Holmes

Part of me wants to say khan-Barrera but khan didn't really dominate as much as the others

Until danny got beaten by Herrera I would have said danny-morales

Can't think of any others at the moment. Those are off the top of my head.

If you really wanna go back in time, Ray Robinson v Henry Armstrong?

Oh yeah, that's a great one. Not many people think of that.

Wilder-Zelenoff?
