    Name a few super fights within the last 10 years where the opponents were equally matched. where the odds of each winning were roughly level, and one opponent didnt have a massive advatage over the other.

    dela hoya n trinidad comes to mind first.

    I watched De La Hoya - Mosley I&II the other day, underrated fights.
    They were awesome.

    Was Tyson vs Lewis odds level?

    I would have expected most people to have realised that Tyson had significantly slowed down whereas Lewis was arguably still at his peak?

    Some very liberal use of the term "super fight" being carried out here. I agree with Trinidad/De La Hoya.

    Joe was hot favourite to win both those fights, more so the Hopkins one where he was really heavily favoured at the bookies.

    I'm not sure about the odds but surely everyone realised Tyson was gone by the time he reached Lewis. Having said that a lot of people were hoping that he could recapture some of his old (youthful) form and vigour.
