It is so widely talked about because of sticky posts like this... Didnt this fight happen Almost a decade ago? Maybe we should have a sticky about floyd/pac as that gets talked about more and is current news.
So? There was nothing controversial about their upsets, or their losses in their respective rematches. No controversy, no need for a sticky thread to conglomerate all the rabble. It's from one of the dumb threads that got merged into this one, by some careless mod that wasn't paying attention (who should have just deleted the poll thread instead of merging it into this one). :conf Automatic integration, can't be helped.
TKO6 actually happened (apart from in bremen's head of course). Floyd/Pac at this point is no more than a fantasy fight.

Honest answer. What would have happened if the fight wasn't stopped? I really do think Vitali would have gotten knocked down by the 7th or 8th. His eye was really going blind.
:good Lennox wasn't fresh as a daisy but he was still capable of throwing big enough shots that even Vitali with his chin couldn't afford to be taking them without even seeing them.
