    Best Atmosphere In USA With Non US Fighters

    Just re-watching the fight between Ricky Hatton & Jose Castillo & have to say this is the best atmosphere I've seen in a US bout with neither fighter come from America.

    The only other fights I can think of are Barrera v Morales. I remember watching Hamed v Wayne McCulloch but I was well drink in Nassau so it's very very hazy.

    Any others?

      Ricky Hatton hands down. Even Jim Lampley mentioned it in the Mayweather fight.

        When PR vs Mexico clash in a big fight! It's on! Best atmosphere to be around! I went to both Cotto-Margarito fights. Classic! Cotto vs Manny just didnt have that same fight atmosphere that Mexican fans bring.

          well, Mexican fighters are pretty much adopted by america, so i wouldn't consider them on "foreign" territory. most of their fans are here and we're right above them.

          sam with PR

            yeah good one with Cotto-Margarito I

            Trinidad-Mayorga

            Just recently Chavez Jr.-Martinez was a good crowd, JR just didn't give people enough to cheer about, but the 12th was an all timer.

            Pacquiao-Morales matchups. I was at the I and III...and by the time the 3rd fight rolled around Pacamania was really getting going and his fans were starting to get crazy

            Pacquiao-Hatton

            Vitali-Sanders

            Lennox-Vitali

            im sure there are many more but those came to mind. I dont think any crowd is quite like a Hatton crowd tho

              I always wanted Cotto vs Hatton at the Garden or in Yankee Stadium. I thought that would've been great from the weigh in all the way until fight night!
