You have already mentioned so many great ones, but here are some more, which I enjoy immensely:

Holmes/Shavers II
Holmes/Norton
Norton/Ali I
Basilio/Robinson I & II
Hong/Carrasquilla
Harada/Kingpetch I & II
Robinson/Gatti I
Dempsey/Firpo

I just counted 177. Christ. I was thinking of many I'd watched several times.

Zarate/Zamora (though it should've been at bantam)
Chandler/Murata II (Joltin Jeff at his best)
Duran/Leonard I (don't like Leonard, so I enjoyed that)
Valero/Mosquera
Mosquera/Nanthachai
Lewis/McCall II (bizarre, I know, but that fight just cracks me up)
Lewis/Briggs
Jackson/Norris
McCallum/Jackson
Pedroza/Ford (Eusebio at his best)
Gomez/Holmes
Sanchez/Ford

Norris/Mugabi

Salgado/Honorio
Ponce/Looknongyangtoi II
McClellan/Bell
Tito/Garcia
(The above two comprised a Showtime card, the most hilarious part of which consisted of Don King's laughable attempt to play legal analyst when discussing the rejection of Tyson's appeal of his rape conviction; my favorite part was his turning "juris prudence" into "Jewish prudence.")
Montiel/Milendez
Donaire/Darchinyan (due to the fact that I detest Vic, in addition to its having been a great KO)
Baldomir/Judah (I detest Zab)
Mayweather/Brazier
Paez/Grove I (great comeback!)
Kelley/Dorsey

How could I have forgotten about Garcia/Khan? Not only a great fight, but a devastating loss for the detested Khan.

Morales/Zaragoza
Morales/Jones

Ryan Rhodes -v- Jamie Moore
Matthew Saad Muhammad -v- Yaqui Lopez 2
Thomas Hearns -v- Juan Roldan
Chris Eubank -v- Nigel Benn 1
Carl Froch -v- Jean Pascal
Joe Calzaghe -v- Robin Reid

Madera vs Tokashiki all 4 were immense! Two true warriors going for it, unbelievable fights. Also I really like Rose/Rudkin for the beautiful boxing early from Rose and the ruggedness of Rudkin to get back into it, such a good clash of styles and some lovely boxing by both men

Quillin/N'Jikam just got added to my list. Great stuff!

Rosario/Jones

Interesting. I've seen the highlights consisting of five rounds. I'll have to try to find that one. Thanks for the info; much appreciated!

Yup,Same here. 1979. Back in the good ole Abc Friday night fights days. I was 9 when i saw this one.
Mendoza was Duran's debut opponent 11 years prior to the Gomez bout.
