    What was the last one you saw?

    A genuine superfight where the best fought the best

    Probably oscar v floyd for me (oscar won) 07

    Lewis vs tyson? (Old faded tyson) 02

    Oscar vs trinidad 99

    Sweet pea vs Chavez 93

    Cant see when the next 1 is gonna come?Dont nobody mention froch v kessler 2 journeymen is no superfight and not a ppv fight sky are making it out to be.

    Talk of khan v mayweather is an insult to boxing fans

    Might be a looong time

    Obvious one that could be on the horizon is Mayweather - Alvarez

    Pacquiao vs Marquez III & IV were probably the last two superfights.

    Not on the level of the Fab Four of the 80's - Leonard vs Duran, Hearns and Hagler were all mega fights, was was Hagler vs Hearns.

    Some of the perceived mega fights - ironically featuring DLH, didn't really materialise in that fashion. He might as well have quit on his stool against Trinidad, the Floyd fight was tedious. The only time I've watched Oscar and thought ''wow'' was against Shane and Fernando Vargas.

    The 90's HW fights didn't happen at the right times, mainly thanks to Tyson getting sent down and the shock defeat of Lewis by Oliver McCall.

    Agreed but I just cant see mayweather risking his 0 against any real challengers

    Hatton vs Money may was defo a superfight imo. The story of the "one 0 had to go.." Made it more exciting, along with pound for pound king would be the winner made it what it was. Superfight imo.

    Why do people think Alvarez would trouble him, the only experience against the elite he has is an aged Mosley and Trout. He needs more experience. I think Mayweather deals with him.

    I had trout drawing with alverez, alverez seemed to struggle with trouts movement and footwork as soon as he planted his feet trout wasnt there to be hit that and the fact floyd showed no signs of slowing down convinced me this would be a pretty comfotable win for floyd

    This. Two elite fighters against each other but not much hype/media coverage

    The last I can think of was Spinks/Tyson; arguably Leonard/Duran III, but it seemed to me Duran was just there the money, even before the fight.
