Pacman Vs Mayweather potentially the biggest fight since Hagler Vs Leonard?

[Darth_Simasu]

I think so. Think about it. How often do we see 2 elite fighters at the top of their game face each other in the ring?. Each of these fighters have already cemented their legacy and claimed a place among history's hall of fame legends.

Also this is a 50 - 50 pick em fight, I bet we will see more pundits than ever sitting on the fence for this one. Myself included!

I told myself never to bet against the ring generalship and KO power of Mayweather again but Pacman's speed, power and the way he picks his angles is astonishing. I can't wait for this fight, it has got to happen!

The only other fights that spring to mind as being contenders for the biggest fight of the last 2 decades are Jones Jr Vs Toney, Tyson Vs Lewis, Tyson Vs Holyfield and ODLH Vs Mayweather....however even these monsters have their flaws.....the Jones Jr and Toney fight was a contest for P4P number 1 but this fight went unnoticed by the general sports fan and both fighters were still fighting early on in their careers; the Tyson / Holyfield fight doesn't hold up because at the time Holyfield was a relative unknown to the public and his celebrity profile was boosted due to his win; Tyson Vs Lewis was one of the most successful pay per view fights ever for obvious reasons but Tyson had already been exposed by Holyfield as having lost much of his arsenal and most new he wasn't the fighter he once was. Finally we have the ODLH Vs Mayweather fight (the most succesful pay per view ever I believe?) - an intreguing fight between 2 gifted fighters but we all new that following his loss to Hopkins ODLH was on the slide and the general sportsfan only became aware of Mayweather's existance because of the massive amount of promotion and publicity prior to the fight.

None of the above arguments apply to a PBF Vs Pacman fight after last night's fight - I've been approached by numerous friends and family today asking me what I thought of the Pacquiao Vs Cotto fight and this rarely happens unless a British fighter has fought!.

If you disagree then feel free to let it be known. I'd love to hear who everyone thinks is the highest profile fight of the last 20 years?
