Mayweather vs Mosley - Biggest Welterweight Fight Since Leonard/Hearns?

Discuss

Can't think of many other fights of this magnitude since Leonard Hearns..of course it would have been better had the two both been in their prime rather than both being out of it...but what names stuck up to Mayweather Mosley?

The only one I can think of is Cotto vs Margarito which was a big fight but these guys don't have anything on Mayweather or Mosley for name value. (Cotto comes close)

ODLH vs Shane Mosley 1
Felix Trinidad vs ODLH
Pernell Whitaker vs Julio Cesar Chavez

Come to mind straight away.

Agreed.

DLH-Whitaker was also big back then.

I am anticipating this almost as much as Williams/Margarito.

I don't know how you can measure such things until you tally the PPV's, but I am very excited about the fight. I don't care for all the hype bullshit and in particular Floyds potty mouth, but I am anticipating an intriguing clash of styles.

Hopefully it won't disappoint, but too many of Floyd's recent fights have been quite dull. I'm relying on Mosley in that regard. Bring it Shane and close that mouth once and for all! Hurrah!

anticpating!! i dont think so

What about Mayweather Baldomir, wasn't that for the undisputed title and all the marbles?

Not even close, Trinadad v Oscar was way more anticipated, Mayweather is expected to comfortably win this fight.

Real boxing fans will see this has a Mayweather showcase.....Mosley way way over the hill and can't see him lasting the distance......I can't see why people are going on about it and comparing it to the second coming of Hagler v Hearns......because it aint......I guarantee you there will be alot of disappointed people come Sunday morning.......Mayweather wins every single round and Mosley will get stopped around the 10th rnd.....please stop going on abt it........there our more atractive matches to talk abt.....yaaaawwwwnnnn!!


Job Biscuit (2010 must be a really bad year if people r getting excited abt this match)!!!


eh eh!!

agreed

though id have this 2nd just behind it in terms of anticipation and whats at stake

I'm kinda hoping that the apparent/ relevant lack of interest in this fight will be proceeded by the same kind of shocking action that proceeded the build up to the Hearns Hagler showdown.

Not that I rated that fight much (:p) It would just be nice to see Mayweather break his hand again and get punched up for 3 rounds.

Shit, how did I forget Trinidad DLH? lol!

That was BIG - Hope this fight is better though.

Miles, sorry shoulda clarifed - I didn't mean in terms of PPV. Just mean in terms of anticipation and 2 great fighters going at it but of course you're right, "anticipation" can definitely be measured by the post fight numbers.

Also Chavez vs Whitaker would have been bigger I imagine? Were they both in their primes at the time?

I don't know about Mosley DLH 1 - Wasn't that Mosleys first fight up from lightweight?

Mosley Dela Hoya 1 was also way more anticipated.

Pernell Whitaker and JCC were both P4P number 1 and 2 at the time bro.

This is Mayweathers biggest fight that is all. ODH v Tito was bigger but rubbish, also if Floyd wins then this fight will be seen as a warm up for Floyd v Pac unfairly.

I think Dela Hoya Mayweather was bigger as was Hatton v Mayweather in terms of talk excitement anticipation etc etc, I think the fact he is fighting a guy who is a great great fighter but is nearly 39 and has been beaten recently, I am looking forward to it loads.

I just dont no what to expect from Mosley to be honest, also the fact this is not the biggest fight out there for Floyd takes the gloss off a little. Not saying that is Mayweathers fault.

In terms of marquee names at 147 there have been these fights since Leonard v Hearns

Curry v McCrory
Chavez v Whitaker
De La Hoya v Trinidad
De La Hoya v Mosley I

This fight is up there cos they are 2 names known to the casual fan

hopefully Mayweather v Pacquiao will be next :)

It's got to be Felix Trinidad vs. Oscar de la Hoya. Even though Oscar was born in East Los Angeles, he did have a duel citizenship so the Mexico/Puerto Rico thing came up.

its certainly up there with the best of them. its probably the biggest since ive been following boxing(definately from a personal stand point). but as ive learned of and seen, there were some big welter weight bouts before this since leanord hearns, but yeah its right up there.

Which fights were dull? Its way more entertaining to watch a skilled fighter than two slow unskilled fighters punch eachother to oblivion.

I agree it wasn't like Hagler-Hearns or Pacquiao-Cotto, but his fights are generally more exciting than the average big fight.

Also going by PPV this fight could likely be among the biggest fights ever ,and I think the skill level of these two also makes it among the best welterweight match ups ever, but I still think Pacquiao-Mayweather is still considerably more important in every aspect, but this is far and away the second biggest, except for a Mosley-Pacquiao fight.

I was completely being honest. I remember throwing a big party in my motel room for Williams/Margarito. We cooked ribs...just good times with good fights mate. I looked forward to it for quite awhile and it was a good fight!
Props to Mick for really being the fan before the rest of us.

I never got anyone to come to my fight parties after Lyakovich/Briggs however.

I was also pretty damn pumped up for Vasquez/Marquez 2 and especially III. The only reason I wasn't pumped for the first one because I really didn't appreciate both fighters like I should have.

Personally, I don't need some "personal angle" to get pumped up for a fight. I also don't need to spend 50 to think I have seen a real fight.

I would much rather see the fighters previous fights, even pretty old ones than to watch him doing shit with his family or running down a road. (Watch Rocky if you want some of that shit). And it can backfire, because unless you have some charismatic fighters.....it sucks on both fronts. Joe Calzaghe anyone?

24/7 may appeal to the casual fan (or more importantly his wife?), but I may just be past that. I want to see footage of fights!

HOwever, any footage of the sport is for the greater good.

Are we talking WW only fights? It doesn't say in the opening post...

Tyson Vs Lewis anyone?

yes Conrad and I are idiots.

Nope. It's nowhere near the hype of De La Hoya-Trinidad and Leonard-Hearns made.

Doh! ;D

I even went back an re-read your first post to check if you stipulated Welterweight, just forgot to check the title! ;D

Tonight's the night we're gonna make it happen,
Tonight we'll put all other things aside.
Give in this time and show me some affection,
We're going for those pleasures in the night.

I want to love you, feel you,
Wrap myself around you.
I want to squeeze you, please you,
I just can't get enough,
And if you move real slow,
I'll let it go.
I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it,
I'm about to lose control
And I think I like it.
I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it,
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want you, want you.

We shouldn't even think about tomorrow,
Sweet memories will last a long long time.
We'll have a good time baby don't you worry,
And if we're still playing around boy that's just fine.

Let's get excited,
And we just can't hide it,
I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.
I'm so excited,
And I just can't hide it,
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know I want you, want you.
