When was the last mega fight that lived up to the hype?

[$tate of Mind]

Mega fights always seem to be disappointments. It's the off the radar fights that seem to make the best fights, case in point Ortiz vs Berto. It's bad for boxing when mega fights fail to deliver.

Hatton-Mayweather was interesting for 6 rounds.

[Who are you?]

Mayweather-DLH was the worst...

I can't think of a megafight that wasn't a disappointment. Your thread is pretty accurate.

Idk if you'd consider Williams-Martinez II, Hopkins-Pascal II, or Donaire-Montiel superfights but I'd say those lived up to expectations in one way or the other.

Margarito-Cotto or Pacquiao-Cotto

[SCtrojansbaby]

Depends on how you define living up to the hype? Pacquiao beat Cotto to pulp, Margarito vs Cotto was great but was it a megafight?

All the Marquez Vasquez fights were awesome

[$tate of Mind]

Here are some examples of mega fights: DLH vs Trinidad, Lewis vs Tyson, Mayweather vs DLH etc. These type of fights always seem to fail to live up to expectations. Pacquiao vs Marquez 2 was excellent but I don't consider it a mega fight. In the 80's fights like Leonard vs Hearns 1, Hagler vs Hearns, Leonard vs Duran, etc. always seemed to deliver.

Would Mayweather-Mosley be considered a megafight? They are both high profile guys.


Margarito-Mosley maybe?

nothing could top Chavez' technical knock out of Meldreick Taylor. Action, heart, desire and drama all packed into 44 minutes of mayhem.....Rockin'
