    In terms of media hype. No HW fights.

    I'm going to assume Ray Robinson was involved in it but I can't be too sure, what's your guys answers?

    Pacquiao-Mayweather will be challenging if it does go ahead

    Did JC Chavez versus Sweet Pea Whitaker get a lot in the states - I remember that one having that 'mega fight' feel about it??

    Agree that Money-Pac could have overhauled it a couple of years back.

    Ray Robinson / Randy Turpin : 1951 Polo Grounds second bout...I was there and the tension before rhe bout you could cut with a knife...
    Harry Greb / Mickey Walker : 2 of the greatest MWs in a 15 round slugfest..
    Benny Leonard / Lew Tendler : the 2 best Lightweights in their prime...Southpaw vs.
    orthodox ?
