    When I ask this question I mean actual superfights not super events such as De La Hoya vs Mayweather, Pacquiao etc.

    For me the biggest fight since De La Hoya-Tito and in my opinion some could argue bigger than that.

    I agree. The last mega fight similar was De La Hoya-Tito. Before that was Chavez-Whitaker.

    Yep, it probably won't (wrongly) be as big an event numbers wise as DLH-PBF but yep, the biggest and most significant fight since Hoya Tito.

    I think from an historic standpoint this could end up being the biggest fight since Duran vs Leonard after their carrers are over.

    Since Duran-SRL. In fact given the time these fights happened or are going to happen, this may be even bigger than that. Floyd has achieved more at this stage of his career than SRL when he fought Duran, and I think Pac has achieved more than Duran at this stage of his career than at the time Duran fought SRL.

    Perhaps since Frazier-Ali? Chavez-Whitaker is another big one.

    Arguably the Whitaker-Chavez fight.

    Because it'll be the first time since then that the 2 best fighters in the world face off.

    Good call, I do think however that both Hagler-SRL were past prime...Floyd & Pac should both be classed as prime or near enough.

    It is a great matchup. Hearns/Leonard. Delahoya/Mosley.
