    What are the most hype fights in the last 15 years?

    Can remember everyone of them so feel free to join in with some suggestion/list, I seem to remember the hype surrounding the Lennox Lewis/Mike tyson fight, Mayweather/Hatton was pretty much hyped here in the UK, am pretty sure De la hoya/Mayweather was hyped as well etc

    Any others in the last 15 years? I meant fights that generate alot of hype including the press conference, weigh in..

          The Lewis v Tyson fight was as hyped up as any i can remember.

          PBF v Hatton too.

          For UK fans only, Benn v Eubank 2 was huge.

              Lewis/Tyson

              Mayweather/Hatton was overhyped to the point it started to piss me off.

                  Oscar-Vargas was a masterpiece of trash talking especially on Vargas' end.

                    I thought Oscar was going to lose that fight for sure because I had (have not again either) never seen Oscar act like that before, it was very different. Vargas pissed Oscar off to a level that even Mayorga and Maywether did not approach.
