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

[ICB]

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.

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?

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.
