    looking at the mega showdown on may 2 that is pacquiao vs hatton, its a fight that has everything. exept a very poor promo name "THE BATTLE OF EAST AND WEST" has got to be one the worst ones ever

    so what are the best/worst names given to a fight ever?

    I'm no Haye fan but I really liked "Heavyweight Hayemaker". Something I wouldn't forget.

    "the war" was a particularly apt one for hagler/hearns

    best: simply "the fight" for Ali vs Frazier 1

    I thought "The Battle" was corny until it happened. Margo vs Cotto really was a battle

    hmm says

    Thrilla in Manila and Rumble in the Jungle were alright with me.
    I see nothing wrong with "East and West".... It could be called "May the Best Man Win" since it's a Pacman vs a Hitman

    Worst: Dream Match
    Dream Match should be something like Pac vs PBF
