Off the top of my head some of the fights that would seem essential:

Larry Holmes-Ken Norton
Hagler-Hearns
Hearns-Duran
Hearns-Leonard 1 & 2
Hearns-Cuevas
Leonard-Duran 1, 2 & 3
Mike McCallum-Julian Jackson
Mike McCallum-James Toney I
Julian Jackson-Terry Norris
Julian Jackson-Herol Graham
Julian Jackson-Gerald McClellan I
Gerald McClellan-Nigel Benn
Nigel Benn-Chris Eubank
Nigel Benn-Michael Watson
Chris Eubank-Michael Watson
Wilfredo Gomez-Lupe Pintor
J.C. Chavez-Meldrick Taylor
JC Chavez-Edwin Rosario
Frazier-Ali 1, 2 & 3
Danny Lopez-Mike Ayala


Oh hell, this could take hours! For starters the best route to begin with would be to get every Ring Magazine Fight of the Year from 1960 thru 1990...after that you could read up on certain fights, but you can't go wrong by getting fights of any of the fighters I mentioned in my first post.
