    There is no real reason to believe some hype would be bigger if you are honest. Really, what makes you think it would be bigger anyway? Not to mention boxing was more popular then and on FREE on tv often. Hbo could hype it as much as they'd like, but it would not be close to the biggest fight.

    just because of the course of floyd & cotto's career
    espn would be all over it

    the hype to see pbf fight again would be tremendous and the fact that peope actually think cotto could beat pbf would be a motor to hype this fight

    plus its in yankee stadium the first major even which means cheap seats so more people could attend

    if cotto never lost it would have been 0 vs 0

    peurto rico vs black

    and peurto rico's favorite son (cotto)

    the hype would have been tip top

    No way it would've matched the hype for Ali-Foreman, or Ali-Frazier. It wouldn't surpass Leonard-Hearns or Leonard-Duran either. Hell, I don't think it would get more hype than Mayweather-De La Hoya.

    was hoping common sense from a floyd fan would pop up.

    And this isn't to say it would be big, but the comparisons are ridiculous..

    'Fraid not.

    Put a decent undercard on your Cotto /Mayweather fight.

    Say, Pacman/Hatton, Pavlik/Abraham, Calzaghe/Dawson, Vitali/Haye and Wlad/ Arreolae


    It still wouldn't match the hype of FOTC.

    Complete nonsense.

    At that level of the sport and with the $$$$ invoved, balls has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

    Was this thread first written before Cotto got smashed by Margarito? I think Margarito ko'ing Cotto again will make a bigger fight as Marg is considered by everyone as a monster welterweight. Cotto beating a Hoya that little Pac beat does nothing for his reputation.

    cotto after destroy margarito & destroying oscar only does 800k when he's fighting pbf and both fighters are undefeated?

    and both fighters are opposing races
    and the fight is in yankee stadium?
    and both fighters are fighting for one anothers 0?

    it only does 800 k?

    your insane

    fight definitely goes over 1 mill

    yall just cant see the bigger picture

    i was obviosuly exagerating with those comparisons to other fights

    but it would have definitely been teh biggest fight of the past 30 years

    p4p #1 vs p4p#2
    whose careers were on crash courses
