Has any fight been this hyped?

[Counter Puncher]

By just reading all these posts, whether they make sense or not, already gives me the answer why this fight is the most hyped up- EVER! Everyone is soooo passionate about the fight, the boxers, and everything that has anything to do with it. Peace!

Plenty of fights have been more hyped. This fight might be making a big deal on this forum but it's not like the American media is going after it like they did Cooney-Holmes, Bowe-Golota II, Ali-Frazier (or Ali-Foreman for that matter) or the Bower-Holyfield fights. Those were HUGE fights, and I've only listed modern fights so far.

If you go back to when boxing was big you'd find a lot of super hyped fights. Louis-Schmeling II for one, and going very far back Jack Johnson vs. Jim Jeffries was huge for all the wrong reasons. A lot of the Dempsey title defenses were world news. The results made the front page headlines.

To be honest, Pacquaio will never get the recognition of a popular heavyweight champ. It's unfair, but that's life.

Dude he did say:

Has any other fight on BoxingScene been as hyped as Morales/Pacquiao?

Yeah thanks Ultimate.

Achilles I was just talking about this forum exclusively. I know that there have been plenty of fights that have blown this out of the water as far as hype in the public eye. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry Tracylee, I just get annoyed when people try to act all high and mighty when they don't even know a good fight when they see one. Pac-Morales is going to be a great fight and I don't see why people have to bash on it just because they are tired of hearing about it. Keep ythe opinions to yourselves because all of us on the internet don't give a damn about what criticism( I mean, WTF does e-respect mean anyways) People like jack the Rippuh probably used to get picked on all the time. Actually, I've seen a pic of Jack the Rippuh and he looks like a complete geek. Bet he pulls alot of girls.

no need to apologize to me..you didnt insult me!
Jack may be alot of things (dont know for sure exactly what though ) but he's never struck me as high and mighty..anybody that would use the avatar he was using a while back to honor a lost bet may appear 'high', but in no way 'mighty'!! Trust me, you would have had to have seen it to believe it!!
I understand most see no need to 'respect' total strangers..but if I want my posts to be taken serious and my opinions to even be considered instead of laughed at (since I am female) then I do try and show atleast a little respect for the other posters as human beings, if nothing else, even if I disagree..I cant do otherwise and expect anyting in return. Now if I came here and posted, just to force my opinion down everyones throat and say to hell with them, then it wouldnt matter. But, I actually like the "feedback" from alot of the people here, and I've learned a few things I didnt know about the sport from some of them too...I cant have any of that happen if I'm constantly insulting and cursing and calling others lives "pathetic"..if you get my meaning. That was what I meant about a little respect for your fellow poster.
As for Jack looking like a geek, well, I dont know or care what he looks like..he's always been nice and fun to debate with far as I was concerned anyway..and if he was picked on as a kid then thats just sad..I wouldnt wish that type of **** on anyone here..not while theyre kids, and none of that really has anything to do with the posters opinion, I dont think
I do agree with you about the fight being a damn good one though..cant wait personally!!!

The recognition of being a popular featherweight/ superfeatherweight champ is enough. Let's leave the HWs alone.

Morales-Pac not really hyped, yet

Morales-Pacman doesn't come close to many truly "hyped" fights. However, it could prove to be the most hyped Feather bout.

If you want hype, try Holmes-Cooney, Frazier-Ali I, just for starters.

Greatest thing about this fight is that we know both guys will show-up ready and give us everything they've got. There will be no excuses about training camp interruptions or some other "problem" preparing. The hype will be the hype, and the fight has all the makings of a classic. In either case, expect to a quick rematch, even if one guy totally out-guns the other.

[Metalhands]

No other fight or fighters in a very long time comes close to the hype, popularity and excitement generated by Pac and Erik and their much awaited fight. Number 1 reason is national pride because both fighters (including MAB and JMM) are considered heroes or icons on both sides of the fence. And this is fueled even more by the passionate, emotional and nationalistic nature of both the Pinoys and Mexicans. I can't recall of any other boxer in history (American, British, South Americans, Thai, Korean, etc.) who had such an almost total backing and adoration from their countrymen!

I just hope there won't be a rumble or riot inside MGM on March 19 b etween these 2 groups!!!!!!He-he...

Here's to Pac and Erik, MAB abd JMM for bringing life, color and excitement back to boxing!!

Like to quote you on that dude, I believe fight fans are matured enough to understand this is just a boxing match nothing personal about it dude
