The first thing that comes to mind is Marcos Maidana vs Amir Khan but I suppose it's not counted as current scene. But that one was a great one, the chemistry between Maidana and Khan was amazing.
Ditto man that fight was incredible.
If going back to 2000 is the “current scene” then Mosley vs Margarito for me.
Martinez vs Williams I and the KO in II were such classics. Williams was crazy good leading up to those fights but Martinez was too slick for him in the end.
Wilder vs Fury III was a classic. Canelo vs GGG I & II were excellent.

Fury-Wilder III is a modern classic in my eyes, maybe I'll go with that one. Estrada-Gonzales fights were incredible and the rhytm they keep up is something else but I prefer the slow chess type of fighting. Like what Devin Haney showed us in the Kambosos victory. By the way Kambosos-Lopez round one for me was a top five round of the scene.
I know I differ but Floyd and Conor McGregor is something I keep returning to. I love Mayweathers style and the games he was playing in that match was like the climax of his virtuosity, regardless of the opponents capability.
Floyd and Conor? Dude. I haven’t been on here in a bit but did you really include that fight in your OP and no one has ousted you? I have been ousted from this forum like 9 times for way less. Dude, your 3rd most memorable fight was Floyd vs Conor? Respectfully? You should find another spot to place your thoughts. That could be the most idiotic thing that I’ve ever read here. And I read some folks that agreed with the Canelo/Floyd judge that ruled the fight a draw. Be well. Get some help or some guidance from those that have seen more than 7 fights.
It's not my 3rd most memorable fight, so that was off topic. I just like watching it from time to time. A guilty pleasure. I never told anyone before...

"In the current scene," is kind of vague. Are we talking the last decade? Five years? Three years? What's the limit?
Well, let's say a match that has an active boxer in it.
That makes sense because some of the picks certainly do not qualify as current scene fights.
Toefimo vs. Kambosos was a top notch fight between two undefeated fighters in their prime. Alot of back and forth action, both guys touched down. It had a bit of everything in it and was a joy to watch.
It made it even more enjoyable seeing Teo and his dad have to eat their words in the end, although it didnt humble them in the least.

Surely 22 years is a bit of a stretch
I don’t like to feel old… but you’re right lol.
Of current active fighters (I like this suggestion) then I’d have to say some other good ones were Fulton vs Figueroa and Charlo vs Banana.

I agree the Canelo-GGG rematch was an excellent fight, but the first was just good IMO (as well as being a blatant robbery).
