Floyd/Pac when it happened was a mid-match for me, 5 years earlier aping 2010 would have been even going in for me.

Fights like
Ali/Frazier (the fight of the century)
Louis/Schmeling 2

Carried great well deserved hype.

Tyson/Holyfield (both fights)
Lewis/Tyson

Had great hype, but were arguably foregone conclusions heading in if we be honest with ourselves.

I admit I picked Tyson in all 3,mainly on heart than head.
You honestly telling me you thought Floyd would beat Oscar? I thought it was a gimmick. Credit to Floyd for winning when he had most of the cards stacked against him.
