when Was the Last Big Hype Middleweight Fight?

[US Dirk Killer]

According to Pigeons, Martinez/Cotto because there was a lot of posts in that thread

Calling a fighter garbage and then picking him to win by ko lol jesus this site is too much sometimes

ggg's resume is garbage! he hasn't fought anyone he's completely unproven.

ggg vs lemieux unification fight THIS IS A MISMATCH! I PICK THE UNPROVEN GUY BY KO!

[-Kev-]

so ggg is unproven but at the same time when he's fighting one of the best fighters in the division its not an intriguing matchup because he's such a huge fav? damn you think ggg is amazing. in your hate for him you are proclaiming him so great that no one in his division can even test him. that's not even true of floyd. average maidana gave him fits yet ggg plows through everyone in his division according to you. you are his biggest fan and hater at the same time.

also some people just want to see good exciting fights. i know its strange to hear. you thought people just wanted to see slick boxing with clinching nonstop but no they actually want to see 2 exciting power punches face each other. i'm so sorry they are ruining boxing for you

Where did I say GGG is garbage? Get me a post where I said.

Yeah Lemiuex does it for you, you think he is a good fighter, I don't. I have kept saying GGG is the only good fighter at MW. I have always said this, you dudes are ******ed with the twisting. This is why I get called a "know it all", because I call people ******ed because they can't read, they're illiterate. And it really does seems to be the case. I don't know it all, I don't act smart, people are just dumb, your comprehension level is very sad.

And no I don't care about a good fighter fighting a big puncher. I did not give a f* when Mayweather fought a good puncher in Berto, I did not buy the PPV and I said that fight ******. So I am not a hypocrite, I stand by what I say. Berto has lost by decision, and KO, Lemiuex has lost by decision, and by KO. Neither of these fights are worth anything more than just getting viewed on television, not $60-70 dollars.

Lol, you are so dumb. That sarcasm does not even make any sense. GGG's resume sucks, Lemiuex sucks even worse.

It would make sense if DL was some kind of great fighter with a great resume, then that would have justified your sarcasm. You are clearly just acting like a dumbass, or like I said, your comprehension level is very low.

oh ok he's the only good fighter in an entire division. you are a very reasonable person indeed.

yes i guess they are the exact same then right? kev and his nuance. they both had losses so that makes floyd vs unranked berto and the ggg-lemieux unification fight the same! they were both sh-it!

You talk about power punchers like that matters. Might as well have Golovkin vs Bailey next, I mean it's two big power punchers going at it. No one knows who is going to win, right?

Lemiuex is a champion in his weight class because it is such a poor division, that is the only difference between him and Berto. Berto wouldn't be able to make a comeback at WW, it's too stacked. MW is a graveyard. You got Quillin needing help against Rosado. You got Mora dropping Jacobs. You got Rubio stopping Lemiuex. To put in to perspective, Rubio was a comeback fight for a rehabed Pavlik, and Pavlik made him cry in his corner, literally. MW is trash. Golovkin fans are like religious creeps, you want peope to give him too much credit. Saying he is th only good MW is not enough, clearly you want me to suck him off like you do and say that he is in such a great division and Lee, Saunders, Lemiuex, N'Dam are all beasts and future Hall of Famers.

Last big hype meaning PPV success?

MW PPV's the past 15 years:

Pavlik-Taylor II - 250k
Cotto-Martinez - 350k
Chavez Jr-Martinez - 475k
De La Hoya-Hopkins - 1,000,0000
Trinidad-Hopkins - 475k
Trinidad-Wright - 510k
Trinidad-Mayorga - 420k
Hopkins-Taylor - 370k
Hopkins-Taylor II - 410k

After looking at this list I have no doubt GGG/Lemieux will break into 300k. Most of these matches never got the publicity or the positive reviews that tomorrow's PPV garnered and it got solid numbers. So I'm very confident GGG/Lemieux will be a hit!

I think it should be as well. Should be a great shoot out!
