Now that ODH-Mayweather is off the table I would say the biggest match that can be made in all of boxing right now is Mayweather Vs Hatton. I would much rather this than the Margarito fight.
Pacman Vs Barrera 2 would be my second choice
JC Vs Taylor would be 3rd
Calzaghe vs Hopkins :)
Even though I'm a yank I can't help it, JC is the fuckin man :)

I hate the fact that you're right :(
Cotto-Hatton
Taylor-Abraham/Miranda
But in all honesty a heavyweight unification bout would be big. Wlad-Lyakhovich would have the most action and Rahman-Valuev might be surprisingly the most fan friendly providing Hasim hits with some power unlike how he did vs Toney

JC Vs Hopkins would be number 1 if it was possible
winky vs. maywheather would be the huge...#1 vs. #2 p4p...
Great fight but PBF is small at 147, would be even smaller at 154, and 160 is out of the question.Quote:

Mikkell Kessler vs The Greek God Zeus
Kessler stopping Zeus in the 5th via TKO stoppage Becoming the ultimate fighter in the universe and we will all be his servants :bowdown: as Kessler strikes down with great vengenance to all those who ridiculed Royal..... :lightingzapA:
JOE C AND JT
How about Tito-Oscar maybe? Cotto-Hatton and maybe in a years time,when Miguel really does become more popular,Cotto-PBF.JC against someone would be massive,maybe B Hop?
Tyson/Holyfield III
Seriously.
These guys:
Calzaghe/Hopkins
Jones/Hopkins 2
Oscar/Trinidad 2
PBF/Oscar
Hatton/PBF
We all know about, but believe it or not:
Valuev/Klitschko....would be a marketing teams dream and huge money maker...
Winky - Floyd
Golota- Bowe 3
Zeus would survive 5?!!?!?!??!?!Quote:

Cc, and not because it's funny, it's very very sad... But your probably right.Quote:

  I guess Mayweather/Margie or Hatton/Cotto would be the big fight
atm, prolly corales castillo 3
I'd pick Golota this timeQuote:

Nobody else is really certified to be a megafight. Hatton vs. Mayweather wouldn't be the same because of what Collazo just did to Hatton.
Cotto vs. Hatton and there would be no higher PPV numbers in history.
I don't think Hatton can get Mega-fight status yet.....He has to BEAT a top person...not judges decision them....nothing personal but he needs to get his cred back from the Collazo fight...sorry.....ODLH-PBF is the only fight out there worthy of MEGA-FIGHT status....I'm glad you agree with me.....ccQuote:

Delahoya wins, he retires, Floyd has an L, continues on.
Floyd wins, Delahoya retires, Floyd has another title, goes back to fighting.
Whoever wins is not going to capitalize on it, if Delahoya wins he wins but he doesn't move boxing forward one bit since he isn't gonna stick around whats it do for boxing besides give Floyd a loss? its not like anyone's gonna do something about it. At the very least any other opponent could capitalize on that victory and build their own legacy and I really don't see why a guy who's legacy is already written would do anything for boxing to beat Mayweather. I really don't.
I take Cotto because he's younger and hits harder, Gatti is a good guy, great heart but he's getting up there, Hatton-Gatti would be more even just do to styles. Cotto attacks the body like Ward did but he thumps a hell of a lot harder and can take tremendous punishment despite what everyone says about his chin. When Cotto goes down it's for good reason.Quote:

Well, to be a big match it really has to have a mainstream appeal, so something involving Oscar De La Hoya is the most obvious.
ODLH vs Floyd Mayweather would draw in regular fans in De La Hoya, and the approval of the boxing fans as it pits the currebt best in PBF against him. If that isn't possible, ODLH vs Ricky Hatton, who's in the top 10 best and has a big British following, would be big, or Winky Wright perhaps. Hatton is probably too small in stature, as he's too small for welterweight let allown light middleweight, but Winky would be a good match, rougly the same size and respected by hardcore boxing fans.
Other Possibles, due to there size, for ODLH would be guys like Margarito, or perhaps retreads like Mosely, Vargas or Trinidad would most likely attract attention and money.
It's a shame the cold war isn't still going, as Wladimir Klitchko vs Hasim Rachman matches 2 world heavyweight title holders, and the biggest names from America and the former USSR in that division, and with a bit of good communist/capitalist tension going that could be huge. As it is it would still probably be the biggest Heavyweight bout possible, but not the biggest in boxing.
I'm not the most knolegdeable on forein boxing matters, but don't Manny Paquiao and Marco Antonio Barrera have big followings in their countrys? Pitting Peurto Rico vs Mexico worked nicely for Trinidad vs De La Hoya, maybe they could do Mexico vs The Phillipines and drum that up to make that a big rematch.
A Barrera-Pac rematch would be a mega-fight, for me, at least...
If PBF would fight Margarito, Hatton, or Cotto, any one of those is close enough to a mega-fight for me, also ;D
Valuev-Wlad is definitely a mega-fight, in terms of size, anyway. I think Valuev's head weighs more than PBF.
that would be a amazing fight. JC vs B-hop. i would love to see that fight
LL vs VK............offer them enough $$$ it "MIGHT" happen. Most likely not , but it would be a HUGE fight.
Lawhoops (cox he's big) against an infinite number of highly trained, bloodthirsty 5 year old children, in a old abandoned gym.
;)
Think of the Pay per View - a cross between 'Chucky', 'Battle Royale' and 'Hulk'
I'd pay to watch!
Trinidad vs Cotto for the pride of Puerto Rico. I think it would be a great fight.
LL would continue to run. He wouldn't give him a rematch in the first place. He was just praying more time will go by so it's not possibleQuote:
