Not necessarily the "best" fight you've seen, can be a more domestic level if you think. Open criteria, quality, drama, action etc. Purely subjective, no right or wrong picks

Heavy - Whyte vs Chisora

Cruiser - Toney vs Jirov

Light Heavy - burton vs buglioni

Super Middle - Froch vs Groves 1, benn vs Mclennan

Middle - Hagler vs Hearns, Eubank vs Benn

Light Middle - macklin vs Moore, Rhodes vs moore

Welter - Hearns vs Leonard, Gatti vs Ward, cotto vs Margarito

Light Welter - Pryor vs Arguello, Khan vs Maidana

Lightweight - corrales vs Castillo

Super feather - Barrera vs Morales 3

Feather - Hamed vs Kelley, Sanchez vs Gomez

Super Bantam - Barrera vs Morales 1

Anything lower I don't really follow. I may come back to this to update. These were the initial fights that came to my head

Moore v Macklin at light middle

Great shout

Cruiserweight, if we talking domestic fighters , pick one of Carl Thompsons thrillers , probably the loss to the late Ezra Sellers (RIP) , but Rothmann, Haye, Dunstan and Eubank x 2 were all great fights too!

Any level really it depends what you like.

Thompson was in good fights you're right. I was tempted to put Haye vs mormeck which was good but it wasn't quite entertaining enough to be listed with the others which are classics.

Holyfield vs qawi was pretty fun too

Lightfly- Carbajal v Gonzales
Fly- Bassa v Mcauley
Superfly- Quiroga v Akeem

Couple of fights I liked but not sure if they make the list

Welter - cotto vs Margarito. Great fight but the whole hand wraps thing...

Feather - Sanchez vs Gomez. Sanchez was a beast but this fight was just 1 guy battering the other real quick, Hearns vs hagler Hearns was live and going right at marvin

Nice picks. I think eubank vs Watson 2 was at 168 not 160 though

Barrera v Morales 1 and Gomez v Arthur for me!

It is - but number 3 wasn't too bad either.

Yeah sorry, 'miles better' was a bit of an exaggeration!

Anyone who does not add Nigel Benn v Gerald McLellan to their super middleweight list is crazy (gosh i sounds like horse)

LHW: Sam Ahmad vs Elvir Muriqi

Hagler-Hearns has nothing on this bout from an entertainment perspective, and I'm not joking when I say that! Knockdowns and momentum swings galore packed into 3 amazing rounds. If you have only a minute, watch from about 1:40 to 2:55...
