Don't think it has already been mentioned but I really enjoy watching the tidy boxing clinic that Buddy McGirt put on a weight drained Simon Brown.

Almost punch perfect

Pavlik vs Miranda is a great scrap as well, i'd also say to anyone who has only seen Hopkins later on watch his early fights and you'll really appreciate how much he adapted, really enjoy his performance against Glen Johnson.

Jorge Linares vs Antonio Demarco is a great scrap

Sam Ahmad vs Elvir Muriqi

Three rounds, a load of knockdowns, and comebacks within the fight from each guy. Wild stuff.

Not sure if it'll be your cup of tea, mate, but Ricardo Lopez vs Rosendo Alvarez II is a thing of beauty & wonder.

As is Kevin Kelley's series of wars, pre-Naz: vs Derrick Gainer, Troy Dorsey, Goyo Vargas & Alejandro "Cobrita" Gonzalez. All wars, all fought at or very near the highest level of skill.
