Wlad vs Haye = Biggest HW fight in 8 years.

[Squizz]

I was kind of off of boxing at the time, but was Lewis vs. Vitali really that big a fight beforehand?

I can't remember it being so. Didn't Vitali come in as a replacement two weeks before the fight? Ah yes, he was scheduled to fight Kirk Johson, that's who it was.

Most excited I've been for a HW fight in a bit.

Is Haye v Wlad that big of a fight? Its big for the division, but its not like it is all over the place or anything. Nothing like Tyson fights.

Broadcast live in 140+ countries.
50'000+ attendence.
Possibly the BIGGEST heavyweight boxing match of all times.

Tyson vs Lennox: 15'000 attendence
Tyson vs Evan Fields II (ear) 16'000 attendence

Let's put this fight in perspective. The heavyweight division is lethargic. Two talented guys who have talked a lot of trash and who have belts are facing off against one another.


I think Wladimir vs Haye is clearly the biggest heavyweight fight since Lewis vs Vitali in June of 2003.

Get excited.

Even bigger. Biggest since Lewis-Tyson. Lewis-Klit was bigger after than heading in. That fight had short, sub build and Vitali was still perceived as soft. Instead, minor classic emerged. That was a surprise gift.

This is Xmas day and the Red Ryder BB gun.

I was going to say since Lewis vs Tyson. Perhaps I gave some extra credit to Vitali vs Lennox retrospectively.

What? You are aware that 130k people saw chavez-haugen in person correct?

Who cares? Its a big fight and your point is taken.

In terms of magnitude, Louis-Schmeling II wipes its ass with this fight. So does Ali-Frazier I.

That's two that make your case.

If Pac-May ever happened, at Cowboys, it would too.

Doesn't mean this ain't massive in its own right.

P.S. Just got into Friday Night Lights and your Minka Kelly av is aces.
