That was the the most excited I have ever been for a fight.

When the security guards were standing across the ring the hairs on the back of my neak were standing on end.

I gotta agree, Lewis - Tyson is probably the only fight bigger in recent years.

Tyson-Lewis was definitely bigger in terms of media hype and interest from casual fans.

This promises to be a great fight. But talking in terms of excitement, my opinion is it will be no match to fights like Trinidad-Vargas or Morales-Barreras for example. This is because of the styles of the fighters. But, De La Hoya - Mayweather are great names, great boxers, and there will be great $$$$.

Tyson Lewis was bigger then...but we had more fans & Tyson was just nutty as a fruit cake & that drew in the casuals.

Oscar Mayweather is the biggest fight in terms of money, viewers, & what not.

It's going to be bigger than Tyson Lewis...fwock it sold out in 3 hours & you then have to take into effect the PPV gate.

I can't wait. I'm up close...so I should be able to get some gravey shots with the digi-cam unless they keep camera's out.

This has to be the biggest....Two great fighters going at it...they went on a multi city tour!...HBO will be airing mini training camp episodes!...The purse amount for non heavys...The fact that Floyd has been chasing DLH for years.

Will oscar allow floyd to potshot all night? Or will oscar crowd him.

Agree totally here, this is the biggest fight of the OO's. This is a 50/50 split as to who will win and the hype and money etc makes it the most anticipated showdown for years in any division.
Surely no one expected an out of shape and mentally warped Tyson to really challenge Lewis, I'm surprised he went as far as he did.

don't they always do keep cams out? only cell phone cams allowed cause they can't tell, i say get you a pocket pc a mda cell phone maybe and you'll have solve your cam getting through issue.

the biggest fight of 00? just because goldenboy is in it and current p4p top pretty boy?

i don't know about this being the biggest fight, goldenboy isn't suddenly back to prime goldenboy just because he pounded no defense mayorga.

this could be the biggest dissapoint not biggest fight.imo

take a guy that can sell great vs a guy everyone wants to see lose, yup thats the biggest fight, we miles as well watch wwe.

i'll call the a fight biggest fight if top p4p vs top p4p goes at it. or champions vs champions

now heres a few that are real big fights that really matter.

hopkins winky

I gurantee that none of those fights will have a multi-city tour(millions invested),HBO mini-series(millions invested),TWO of the biggest names in SPORTS(not just boxing),not to mention all of the drama between Oscar and Floyd.People wanna see Floyd lose because he is dominant.
Hopkins Winky-nowhere near...outside of the boxing world they still arent that big.
Joe C-Kessler-Noneone knows them over here
Pac-JMM-will be a good fight...but outside of the boxing world no one is really interested.

no, tyson lewis

i am puzzled by how huge this fight is...


i really could barely care less about watching mayweather run away from ODH and tapping him with an occasional jab to win the rounds with a 1-3 punches landed advantage

but i gaurantee you those three fights matter most to the sports after the fights.

what happens to pbf and goldenboy after all the build up and investments of time and money. they get it on and one wins but then what?

pac jmm 2, bhop winky, kessler joe.C would sort things out it would matter more then the fight between popular boy vs poster boy.

Pac-Marquez II is a big fight no doubt.
Completely disagree on the other two. Winky and Hopkins are both great fighters, they're also both old and they're fighting at a catch-weight that neither fighter figures to stay at after that fight. I don't see what Winky-Hopkins is going to "sort out."
Sure, Calzaghe-Kessler sorts out 168, but 168 is one of the least glamorous divisions in all of boxing. That's a big fight, but it's a huge fight only in Europe.

hmmmmmm lets hope its not, and that we have much better, bigger fights to come! right guys?

There are gonna be better fights...but none bigger than this...or at least anytime soon.
