Awesome topic.

I see your examples and I raise you:

Ward Vs. Augustus* - Bunches and bunches of punches!

Bennt Vs. Morrison - I'm throwing this one in because it's a classic example of discounting the underdog, and the favorite eating their words.

*I argue that these men may be popular, but their records tell the story.

Frankie Liles-Tim Littles 2
Kevin Kelley-Derrick Gainer 1
William Lee-John LoCicero
Arturo Gatti-Ivan Robinson 1
Arturo Gatti-Wilson Rodriguez
Arturo Gatti-Micky Ward 1
Micky Ward-Emanuel Burton/Augustus
Michael Moorer-Bert Cooper
Michael Gomez-Alex Arthur
Sergie Liakhovich-Lamon Brewster

My all-time favorite fight is Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo 1. I think that qualifies, as I consider both "very good", but not in the "great" category.

I don't think Vasquez vs Marquez goes in there, they are 2 top 10 p4pers..

May have mentioned this one before but IKE IBEABUCHI V DAVID TUA. If Heavyweights fought consistently like that boxing would probably be a little more relevent today.
