If Floyd and Manny were to fight in May where would it rank, in terms of build up, interest, excitement, relevance etc... in the pantheon of boxing greatest fights?

I think it would be similar to Tyson/Lennox.

Huge build...not that great of a fight. The venue sucked too

It would be second right behind the Boston Strong Boy John Sullivan vs. Gentleman Jim Corbett.

Rating it up against Hagler/Hearns,Ali/Frasier 1,2,
Ali/Foreman....

It's a great fight but in my opinion it's not a Classic,unless it is.

I'm over it. If it happens, fine, but I'm not clamoring to see it. Both of these guys are in their mid to late 30s.

I don't keep up with it anymore, but when boxing was on network TV in the 70's it was at it's best.

The days of the average Joe getting up for 'big fights' has long since sailed.

Sad.

Not nearly as high as it would have 6 years ago.
