    Last big fight that lived up to hype

    I mean for the past few years "Mega fights" have been one side or snooze-fest.
    DHL v. Tito
    DHL v. Bhop
    Bhop v. Tito
    Lewis v. Tyson and on and on and on.
    Shooting from the hip Gatti v. Ward one is a classic.

    The last one that I can think of that actually lived up to the hype (though tragically) is Benn-McClellan.

        mayorga vs trinidad was great, i wouldnt mind seeing these two in the ring together again

        castillo- coralles was an all out war

        not a mega fight but i enjoyed barret vs beck

          Hagler-Hearns
          Leonard-Hearns
          Ali-Foreman
          Ali-Frazier I and III
          Pryor-Arguello I and II


          they arent recent as you can tell LOL

          Every GREAT fight I've seen lately wasn't hyped from the beginning...

          Castillo-Corrales, Tito-Mayorga, MAB-EM, Arce-Hussein werent hyped up at all before they happened...but they were great

          From what I realised, every fight thats been hyped didnt reach to it's full potential..

              Morales-Pacquiao was good but I dont think it lived up to the hype but great fight definately...

              I thought it was gonna be one of the greatest fights ever but not really

              Arce-Hussein and Castillo-Corrales was better than that fight

                I AGREE WITH YOU IN A WAY ABOUT THE ERIK FIGHT. I THINK ALL THAT WAS MISSING WAS A SOME KNOCKDOWNS AND MAYBE A KNOCKOUT.
