    I think Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is the biggest fight ever. All of those are really big fights, but this is the biggest fight ever.

    I was going to point the same fight. But I wonder if Pryor by that time was such a big name to creat the same hype as Pac-Floyd. Anyway I wonder what Pryor was going to do to SRL

    The fight was signed before both were superstars, Angelo Dundee realized the fight could be HUGE down the line and turned it down since he had final approval on SRLs fights. For the original fight SRL was going to get around $100k and Hearns around $12k, it worked out better when they both got millions.

    How? Lewis only started his pro career when Tyson was in his prime.
