    cotto-margarito. I went to every event associated with it, the grand arrivals, press conferences, the weigh in and ultimately the fight. It was great to be inside the intensity of the great PR-Mexico rivalry. Being at the fight was truly some hardcore intense feeling. And my god this was the fight with the most beautiful women in attendance.

    Hatton PBF
    B-Hop Calzaghe (surprise no mention of this one yet, from the brits at least)
    Lewis Tyson
    Naz Barrera
    DLH PBF

    I could only imagine the hype there must have been over here for Eubank Benn and Bruno Tyson 1 as I wasn't a fan back then. At the moment really looking forward to Calzaghe Jones, party for my 21st that night too. Also Hatton Paulie and hopefully Haye Wlad next year but they're not on the same scale. Couldn't wait to see Pavlik B-Hop either!

    Leonard-Hagler had a massive build up, even before it was announced. The moment Leonard said he might come out of retirement the boxing mags were full of it. To put it in perspective the rematch to the "9 Minutes of Mayhem", Hagler-Hearns fight went from being the most sought after fight in boxing to "who cares?" overnight.
