Comments Thread For: Crawford On Spence Clash: I Feel Like This Is The Biggest Fight Of The Decade!

[SteveM]

Even if it happened four years ago when both were prime, it’s not fight of the decade. Even past expiration date should be decent fight. But I’ve personally lost all interest in it. More interested in Usyk fighting Fury.

You hit it nail >> on >> the >> head !!

That said, four years ago Spence was hammering his head against Dallas tarmac

Respect to both, but nether of them are big enough to be in the fight of the decade, beyond the views of boxing scene hardcores. This despite all the ‘marination’. So what was it all for?

maybe - but these days, because boxers fights so much less often they don't really build up a tremendous resume to become household names. And the boxers and especially the promoters are complicit in this - protecting the 0 has become the name of the game in order to get one or two big money fights and cash out - cash out for promoters and boxers

Bud is 35 and Jr 33 the clock is ticking ! The alarm will go off soon and all this messing around and telling the public how massive the fight would be will be , will be a thing of the past. Managers & promoters and fighters themselves have a way now of avoiding fights , there are so many excuses it's hard to pin them down as to why not .A typical case recently with Joshua , or his team or his promoter or all not wanting to fight Fury.They just run the clock down and take much easier routes . I hope Crawford / Spence don't continue down this road but as fans it's what we've gotton used to it , with garbage you tube fighters making millions as they can see the gap in the market. If fights like Wilder v Joshua , Fury v Joshua and Crawford v Spence to name just a few were made , it would close that silly circus fight market down , never mind the excuse of 'so many more eyes on our sport' ...they are eyes that I for one don't want. Get on with it Bud and Spence the fire needs lighting for the good of our sport.

Yep, he's past his prime and with every month that goes by he loses a tiny fraction of his physicality - athleticism, timing, power.
Maybe only 1/4 percent per month meaning 3% per year.
Fights like this can be won on the slimmest of margins - so every 1% counts!

At his peak, he was an unknown entit ty.

His team must think beating Horn, Brook and Shawn is the ticket to fame and fortune.

Well let’s get it done!! We should already be getting ready to watch the rematch and we can’t even get the first damn fight signed.

Spence style is made for Crawford, will be a poo fight, Spence gets knocked out easily

[SchoolTheseCats]

So Crawford why don’t you man up and sign the damn deal instead of keep telling us nonsense especially when you the one holding up from fight from getting signed sealed and delivered

You forgot about Khan, Benavidez Jr and Kavaliauskas.
This has got to be the worst resume in the history of the WW division.
Mosley & Cotto have better resumes at WW

The sport, for some unknown reason, says he's a top P4P guy.
I'm still trying to figure that out
