Comments Thread For: Spence On Crawford: I Feel Like It's Best Welterweight Fight In Last 40 Years, Fight Of Decade

more legit than Pac/Floyd because that fight went bad on the shelf. This one's a little passed due but at least they are both still undefeated.

Spence fans are going to be devastated in how easy Terrance beats Errol.

I get that feeling as well. Spence is going to have to fight incredibly smart, and make it incredibly boring, to win. I am hoping that Bud brings the best out of him.

Spence is talking out of his....
Every thing that he is saying now, just falls flat.
What he had been saying all along was that, "The Crawford fight is not going to happen until I'm ready", so in that sense, he's a man of his word.
He said that the Crawford fight could not be made because he was with Bob Arum and Top Rank, but when Bud left, then it was another excuse, after excuse.
He tried to wait Crawford out, so that maybe he'd lose to some other fighter, that did not happen.
He tried to pick Crawford's pocket, by getting him to basically fight for pennies, with (Puppet) Al Hayman's PBC, (HNIC) Floyd Mayweather Promotions, but that didn't work.

He has no credibility and no class, and even now, who ever thinks that this bout will take place on July 29, really just needs to look at his, and the track record of Al Hayman PBC, and Floyd Mayweather Promotions on how they've delt with Gervonta Davis, having him sit on his hands, and every other fighter that they "advise and/or promote".

Two past prime guys, one who hasn't looked the same since a near death car crash, nah.

Not sure why both are saying biggest welterweight fight in decades. Pac May was the biggest fight of all time and at welterweight, even if it didn't meet expectations in the ring.

May vs PAC was the biggest as far each fighters star power and the type of international fanfare that was brought to the fight. And of course the numbers it generated won’t be matched by any fight any time soon. But this fight is better as far as the style match up goes. Two undefeated black American fighters at welterweight pretty much still in their prime hasn’t happened since the 80’s or 90’s. PAC had losses and was coming off of being KO’d by Marquez when he fought May. Plus no real boxing fans using logic believed PAC had a chance against Mayweather’s style. It’ll be a waaay better fight to watch I guarantee.

For the general sports fan maybe but not for hardcore boxing enthusiasts. Pac was already damaged goods having just lost to Bradley and gotten savagely KO’d by JMM before that. Crawford-Spence is a better matchup. They are both in the twilight of their careers, but still seem fresh. It may not be Leonard vessel Hearns but it’s close.

This fight will def not compete with the numbers made with may-pac but at least has all the potential to actually deliver what is being expected boxing wise both being undefeated and in their prime.

Best since De La Hoya vs Trinidad.

Yeah that's what came to my mind.

Best since De La Hoya vs Trinidad.

That’s the first thing that popped into my head but unlike this two clowns they didn’t play the wait game. This fight has lost some relevancy at least to me, they are not what they were four years ago. Specially Spence with his car crash and all that
