    I guess that all depends on what you mean by 'intense'. I thought Schmeling-Louis, Foreman-Frazier, Ali-Frazier, Ali-Foreman, Tyson-Berbick, Tyson-Spinks, Hagler-Hearns, Pryor-Arguello and Duran-Leonard were more intense than Mayweather-Hatton.

    Kessler vs Calzaghe was not intense.

    I've been to quite a few fights. None were louder than Morales-Pacquiao III.

    i watched hatton-mayweather live in vegas closed circuit and was there live in the arena for the pac-morales 3 fight.

    hatton-mayweather was far more loud & electric!

    Ha-ha. Yeah, that was the first fight that popped into my head. It doesn't get much more intense than that.

    yeah but its an honor to still even be mentioned in the same breath as those events...

    i've read that some of the early jack johnson fights were intense because of the racial division of america and when johnson started getting really popular... every white fighter was looked up as the great white hope.

    and crowds would literally be one side black & one side white..

    like in the movie harlem nights

    but thats what im talking about ... in terms of their being that buzz & electricity about the event... this fight has to rank up there...

    i heard that from the second hatton touched down in vegas that wherever he popped his face up for that week that song would be sang
