    I can think of Margarito-Pac, but i'm short on other history fights.

    I was gonna say that. Pac v Cotto too and Pac v Barrera.

    Gotta include Frazier v Ali 1 and inversely, for Ali, the third fight.

    Could throw in Martinez v Pavlik too.

      Ibeabuchi - Tua. Ike's defence was a waterfall of punches on Tuaman.

                Prime Mike Tyson. He was elusive in a way that put him in a position to damage his opponents.

                A bit of a shame that he couldn't old it together. It'd be interesting seeing whether or not it'd be effective against the heavyweights of the 90s.
