A classic era Spider-Man battle that rarely gets mentioned is the Spidey/Ock slugfest from ASM #88-90. That arc is mostly remembered for Capt Stacy's death at the very end but, prior to that, is a fantastic sequence where Ock's arms---being remotely controlled by Otto---battle Spidey in a pretty ferocious (for that time) fight with SPidey hiding out in crevices of buildings to escape them. Once Ock gets reunited with his arms, the volume gets turned up and it is easily one of my favorite Spidey/Doc Ock battles of all time. This was scripted by Stan in one of his last truly great stories and brilliantly illustrated by Gil Kane (Romita only dress the first chapter in #88) who doesn't get enough credit for his artistic contributions to Spidey; they may not have been plentiful but boy, were they excellent!
I like the fight beetween Peter and Norman in "Revelations" (wich is probably a very unnpopular opinion), not so much for the action, is just for the very personal conflict beetween boths charachters.
I blogged about this for today after I kind of accidentally segue'd into the idea...
https://gotstratosphere.com/2018/08/...er-man-fights/
If you don't want the rationale behind the picks, I have:
HM: Spidey vs Firelord
5. Spidey vs Wolverine (one-shot)
4. Spidey vs Juggernaut (ASM 229-230)
3. Spidey vs Kingpin (Back In Black)
2. Spidey vs Venom (ASM 347)
1. Spidey vs Morlun (ASM vol 2 33)
What would you put in there?
Spider-Man vs Mister Hyde (Amazing Spider-Man 231-232)
Spider-Man vs Tri-Sentinel (Amazing Spider-Man 329, 351-352)
Spider-Man vs Doctor Octopus (Spectacular Spider-Man 78-79)
Spider-Man vs Green Goblin (Peter Parker Spider-Man Volume 2 44-47)
vs. Morlun I and II, more so first time around.
vs. Green Goblin, TASM #122.
vs. Sinister Six, Death of Spider-Man.
Happy Birthday, TASM (Vol. 2) #57/58 and TASM (Vol. 1) #500.

The Spidey vs Colossus fight from AvX Versus #2 was really good off the top of my head. The fights against Morlun and Shathra were great. The classic fights against Juggernaut and Firelord. Back in Black fight against Kingpin. Spider-Man's fight in Grim Hunt against the Kravinoff family.

Then there's this gem.
best Spider-man boss fight ever
There are so many! Mine favorite still gotta be Spider-Man vs Firelord. I lost count on how many times I've reread ASM #269 & #270!
