    In the last couple of decades 3 fights spring to mind
    Lewis Tyson
    Hamed Barrera
    And now we have
    Hatton PBF

    I think Lewis Tyson is the biggest - only because they're heavyweights

    Hatton PBF is the best fight in boxing right now. Classic matchup of polar opposite styles. in the ring one fighter throws combos and moves to avoid punishment the other throws combos and clinches to avoid punishment. out of the ring one is a loudmouth, vulgar and ultra disciplined braggard the other a self depricating, down to earth ****-head.

    I AM SO ****ING HYPED ABOUT THIS FIGHT!!!

    I'VE GOT THE OLD BOXING BUZZ BACK. I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET IT AGAIN!!:happy :happy :happy :happy :happy :admin :admin :D :D

    Tyson vs Lewis was mostly huge because of the names involved in reality I think everyone knew Tyson was mentally and a bit physically wash up. Either way I think Lewis might have beaten a prime Tyson anyway but he might of hit the canvas at least once or twice.

    very important fight and honeyghan dethroned the p4p number 1 of the day.

    only trouble is he did it in front of 1 man and his dog , which spoilt the atmosphere of a fight of that magnitude.

    Don Curry should nevewr have been made to fight, he'd had the flu was still weak Dave Gorman & Paul Reyes wanted him to pull out Akhbar Muhammad his so called manager forced him in there. A prime Curry would have eaten Honeyghan alive

    This fight is easily the best of the three. Is it the biggest? It could be, with how huge Hatton is. Tyson and Lewis did $$, but everyone knew Tyson was shot. Prince was overhyped and not nearly as skilled as Hatton is, although he threw a much bigger punch, p-f-p than RH does.

    Still, this could do huge numbers in Britain.

    Bob Fitzsimmons v James J Jeffries
    Bob Fitzsimmons v Jack Dempsey
    Bob Fitzsimmons v Jack Johnson

    see this clip, these 2 old fighters were faster than rjj and pbf combined - even the ref was speedy

    Really? Don't you think they'll promote the crap out of it beforehand? If I were Warren (if he's still promoting RH), I would sell this fight starting right now. This is a HUGE bout.

    Right, that's why Hatton's making real fights now. Good for Ricky

    Hatton's biggest fight ever(Kostya Tszyu) was made when he was with Warren. Did Hatton clearly state that he left Warren because he wasn't getting him the fights he wanted?
