This is purely a matter of opinion, but as a Sherlock Holmes aficionado myself, I can confidently give you the most famous cases the great detective solved.
The Hound of the Baskervilles
A Study in Scarlet
A Scandal in Bohemia
The Boscombe Valley Mystery (not to be confused with The Valley of Fear or Shoscombe Old Place)
The Crooked Man
The Greek Interpreter
Silver Blaze
The Valley of Fear
The Final Problem
The Empty House
...And most, if not all, of the ones in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes!
The four most famous (in my opinion, and from what I gather from society) are underlined and italicised. Hope that helps, from PNEROX!
P.S. The last two are bold because - SPOILER ALERT! - they concern his "death" and "reincarnation".

Did Sherlock Holmes have a symbolic meaning?
Sherlock Holmes did indeed. Sher standed for Sure and Lock because he solved cases so if you put it together he was sure to solve and unlock the case. And Holmes because he is very comforting as a home is to anyone.
Did Watson help Sherlock Holmes with all his cases?
No. 'The Gloria Scott' and 'The Musgrave Ritual' were solved by Holmes before the two even met, and 'The Adventure of the Lion's Mane' and 'The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier' were cases written by Holmes after Watson was married. There are certainly other cases in which Watson had no hand.When Helen Stoner ('The Adventure of the Speckled Band') refers to the case of Mrs. Farintosh and her opal tiara by way of reference, Holmes says: "I think it was before your time, Watson."In 'The Adventure of the Second Stain,' Watson says that in 17 of the 23 years that Sherlock Holmes was in active practice, he "was allowed to co-operate with him and to keep notes of his doings" leaving six years where the two were not together.
What is Sherlock Holmes favourite case?
Sherlock Holmes' first case was 'The Gloria Scott' published in 1893, but the first published Sherlock Holmes story was the novel, 'A Study in Scarlet' (1887) which, coincidentally, was his first case where he was accompanied by Watson.
Did Sherlock Holmes make money by boxing?
No. Holmes never actually made a profession of boxing, though he did enjoy doing it.
How does Miss Marple compare to Sherlock Holmes?
They both solve crime but they're different people made by different people. Sherlock Holmes was created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Miss Marple was created by Agatha Christie. Holmes solved cases mostly by relying on the evidence he gathered. Miss Marple solved her cases by understanding the things people do and human nature.
