In term of boxing history legacy type **** Floyd-Pacman is probably the best we can do to come close to those type of fights (lots of drama, both leading up to the fight and inside the ring).
    no offense but...... duran > hearns

    duran > hagler > leonard > hearns

      absolutely 100% if it's a close/controversial war, it will turn into huge box office attraction for sequel and a 3peat...it would be the greatest rivalry in 30 years if not ever

          For sure, if Manny beat Hatton it makes this fight even more grand. Floyd should take some kind of tune up if this fight is happeaning in about 1 years time, just to let people know he is back preferably on regular HBO (well preferably on free network TV or cable whatever would just have the largest possible audience).

            All time yea kind of because Hearns lost most of his big fights. It is not that cut an dry though 2 all time great fighters in the same weight class fighting at the peak of their powers is better then Duran-Leonard 1. Just my opinion though. Also Hearns-Leonard 1 is about 100 times a better fight then Duran-Leonard 1. Hearns Leonard also had way more hype to it, but also know I am from Detroit and my whole family loves the Motor City Cobra.

                    I think PAC beating Hatton is a necessity before this fight can happen...

                    and then they can fight at 140 for Supremacy at that weight and P4P

                    imho at 147 they still have to beat the best welters before they can claim they are the best welter...

                      Biggest fight any of us will ever see. #1 vs. #2. We got close to it in 2002 with B-Hop and Roy, but it never happened. This would be insane.
