Good way to put it. Or just fights that were action packed, but as time goes on you never hear about them.
If that's the case then how about Mayorga vs Forrest I & II? I never hear anyone talking about either one at all and yet both were good action fights.

I always liked Trinidad vs Mayorga. It was a absolute beating, but somehow exciting to watch

And the most underrated of all:
Moorer-Cooper

Dorsey/Paez was really good. All three of 'em.
I was gonna post it from You Tube, but I tried to watch and it kep pausing, so I said "F" it.
