In 1987 Mike Tyson fought Tyrell Biggs. Both fighters were undefeated with Mike Tyson holding all three major heavyweight championship belts at the time (WBA/WBC/IBF). Biggs had shown much disrespect to Mike Tyson in the lead up to this fight. Later, long after the fight, Tyson admitted to carrying Biggs through to later rounds, so that he could punish him, inflicting more damage on him than he would have if he had pursued the knockout in one of the first rounds.
What makes this fight great is the display of Tyson's abilities in his prime. His movement is quick, his punches accurate, and his conditioning unmatched. Biggs, although the larger and taller opponent, soon loses the ability to establish the jab and make his height work in his favor.
