When was the last mega fight that lived up to the hype?

I would say Margarito-Cotto lived up to the hype, but your point is well taken.

I don't consider a one sided beating living up to the hype. I think that a mega fight is expected to be competitive and entertaining.

Mega fights always seem to be disappointments. It's the off the radar fights that seem to make the best fights, case in point Ortiz vs Berto. It's bad for boxing when mega fights fail to deliver.

Hagler/Hearns

Pacquiao-Cotto lived up to be a battle for four rounds

lol, damn your old.

Here are some examples of mega fights: DLH vs Trinidad, Lewis vs Tyson, Mayweather vs DLH etc. These type of fights always seem to fail to live up to expectations. Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 was excellent but I don't consider it a mega fight. In the 80's fights like Leonard vs Hearns 1, Hagler vs Hearns, Leonard vs Duran, etc. always seemed to deliver.

LOL no they didn't Leonard vs Duran 3 stunk, Hagler vs Duran was boring, Chavez vs Camacho was pretty much just like Mosley vs Mayweather a one sided beatdown, Holmes vs Ali was boring,Holmes Spinks 1 was nothing special,
