All my opinion of course but they were all HUGE fights that are bigger or at least near the same level as Pac Floyd.
All of those were fights that became great. Hagler-Hearns was pretty big, but not really considered any bigger pre-fight than the Pacquiao-Cotto fight, you have to remember this is the fight that made Hagler a star.

The first Leonard-Duran fight was quite hyped, but not as much as the rematch, as it was beating Leonard that made Duran a household name. Think kind of like Pacquiao before the De La Hoya fight, a good fighter, but not someone your average person knew.

Barrera-Morales I wasn't hyped at all outside of the Mexican & boxing community. It was never a fight your average person in the street was interested in. If you listen the commentary for the second fight, they say how the seats became 5 times as expensive for the rematch.
