    It would certainly be close to it thats for sure but the aura of Chavez at 87-0 at the time made that fight huge + he was going for his 4th division title too. Hopefully time will tell.

    The truly big fight would be if JMM beats Mayweather and fights Pac III !

    I think it would be, mainly because i think both whitaker and chavez where slightly past there best when they fought.

    I've decided i want to see pac fight cotto first and PBF to fight both JMM and mosely and if they both win to fight early next year, if that happened it would be off the scale

    Both of those fights would be ****ing great. God damn, this is a great time to be a boxing fan. Mayweather vs Marquez is an outstanding matchup and that will just be an aphrodisiac to what comes next..

    Yes, it would be bigger. Biggest fight since Hagler-Leonard.

    Yep. One could argue that this would be the biggest fight since Hagler/Hearns or even Hearns/Leonard I but that may be stretching it a bit too much.
