    To the Latino fans Cotto v Margarito would have been bigger but for general fans, Spence v Bud trumps it 100%. No comparison. I dont know anyone who was talking about C vs M before the fight was even considered unlike Spence v Bud which has been talked about for ages. Kind of like Tyson v Holyfield was talked about years before Tyson lost to Douglas.

      I was excited at the Cotto vs Marg build up. Similar to now with Crawford vs Spence
      Cotto vs margarito 1 did 450k ppv buys.

      I think Crawford vs spence will do more than that

        Crawford vs Spence is for all the marbles. The commercial success may not be the same, but to boxing fans its the stakes that matter.

          Back in the day we all expected Margarito to get outboxed pretty thoroughly.

            Crawford and Spence are literally positioned to be Ray vs Hearns I if it plays out with an undisputed attachment in one of boxing's legacy divisions.

              Good question it's easy to forget the hype back then for Cotto vs margarito I guess 2 was a bit tainted due to pac rearranging margaritos eye socket

              I will have to go for Spence vs Crawford tho due to the fact you know for sure both are the best 2 fighters at WW and it's for all the marbles we haven't had a true number 1 at welterweight since floyd retired

                Spence vs Crawford. They have a Goku vs. Vegeta Rivalry

                  Crawford vs Spence Junior is the bigger event as I have explained in my first post.

                  But will Crawford vs Spence Junior be a better fight?

                  Cotto vs Margarito I was a awesome fight, completely brutal.

                  I wonder how Crawford vs Spence Junior will play out? A semi violent game of tick, or complete high level brutality.

                    I think Spence vs Crawford, if it happens now, will have more historical significance than Cotto vs Margarito

                      I agree, I think once it gets announced, it'll be huge, to have two undefeated WW's fighting for unified, and both top 10 P4P, I believe this fight will be HUGE!
