Sorry, I meant 50-0 obv.

I just assumed you were thinking ahead to the rematch and another ridiculous pay day.

What's an example of a really good boxing match to demonstrate the difference between 'punches hard' and 'good boxer'?

Would the Holyfield/Tyson fights count?

These are more competitive than I expect this fight to be and most of the brawlers are pretty ok boxers too, but any of the Ali-Frazier trilogy for a start. Any Pacquiao vs Marquez. Provodnikov vs Bradley for something more recent, or Provodnikov/Algieri. Tyson vs Lewis for bad Tyson, Tyson vs Michael Spinks for good Tyson.

...

And I just realized before looking for more that you weren't asking for swarming fighters vs pure boxers, leaving it anyway because these are some interesting fights.

Specific good boxer who hits (really) hard vs good puncher example: GGG vs Curtis Stevens, although I'm not sure how much there is to learn from watching the fight. Golovkin dropped Stevens (who really does have completely legit power) and Stevens just got worked until he quit.

The best boxing match is the original Rocky

Just go with the boxing match which is the most Rocky type fight to ever happen in real life.

I'm pretty sure that title goes to Muhammad Ali/Chuck Wepner.

I meant the absolutely no defense fighting style Stallone brought to the big screen, not the inspiration. Gatti-Ward 1 Round 9 is probably an even better real life analogue.

Maybe ducking and intentionally getting tangled under the ropes. Or if your John Ruiz, clinching forever.

Seems like most guys who want out of a boxing match but don't want to quit just start fouling in progressively more obvious fashion.
