    the oscar fight was just the icing in the cake..the morales rematch was the biggest i guess coz of the fact that he lost to him..the nation just rallied behind PacMan's back on that one to regain the pride.it definitely was the most emotional fight..this one should be the biggest fight for the brits coz of the loss by hatton to mayweather..this fight should regain brit's pride if hatton wins so i understand the sentiments that this is the biggest fight ever..i guess the OP is a brit..this one is an emotional fight for brist i guess

      It's one of the most IMPORTANT fights in history. Because of how boxing is "dying"...a megafight like this is ****ing awesome.

        It's certainly top 5 maybe even top 3 of all time. I'm sure there were Tyson fights which were bigger.

            Near Hatton/PBF maybe NOT close to Oscar/De La Hoya

              Oh, and Prime Michael Jackson and Elvis > Hatton and Pac

              Michael Jackson and Elvis were fighters?

              I wouldn't mind seeing Brittney Spears on foxy boxing or oil wrestling.

              That would be easy to promote and as long as she didn't sing, it would break all ppv records

                  Those are two very hard fights to live up to. DLH-Floyd broke every record and Hatton-Floyd had massive success as well.

                  It would be really hard for this fight to live up to those as far as $$$$.

                  But perhaps seeing as a whole nation will watch this fight, the number of people seeing this one will probably be greater. It just doesn't necessarily translate into the same financial success- which is probably what a Floyd stan would argue and be right about that part.

                    ur right..not the biggest financial fight ever..but the biggest in terms of people anticipating for this fight..

                      sorry but this isn't anywhere near biggest fight of all time. this fight will be lucky to even be as big as hatton/mayweather let alone mayweather/DLH which eclipses it.
