    There's been alot of Great fights from, Morales vs Barerra 1-3, Trinidad vs Vargas Gatti/ward, Casa vs Katsidis, Castillo vs Corales ect. will the Lucas provo fight Become the best fight in the last 15 years? or will it just stand firm as one of the best fights of the last 15 years...

    what do you guys think?

    You really can't tell. If I were to guess, rounds one and two will be fairly conserved, with the fight gradually progressing into an action packed fight with multiple knockdowns and ending up going to the scorecards. However, the fact is that both men posses power that could end the fight at any moment regardless of the strength of their chins.

    One outcome I am fairly certain of is that the fight will not end up as one of those highly anticipated events where both men are two tentative to engage, simply because both men are not thinking fighters and are largely unsuccessful on the back foot.

    I do think that this is the fight a lot of casuals should see, to make boxing a bigger sport again.
    It very probably won't be another Gati vs Ward, but not much chance it would be a total letdown.
    This fight is comparable to pizza and s*x... even when it dissapoints, it's still pretty damn good :good

    This type of fights is what boxing needs.

    GGG vs Froch @ 168 would match this fight in terms of action.:yep
