    You can say the same for Crawford and Spence. Spence will have had 2 fights in nearly 4 years by the time Crawford fight happens. Crawford is 35. Pacquaio still got good wins after May loss the Thurman win was a big win

        I'd say it's still "one of the best" matchups at 147 in the last 10-15 years. All four versions of the "world title" on the line with two undefeated fighters. It's a big fight for boxing fans.

          It's a huge fight for boxing fans i never said it isn't. I was just stating May Pac was bigger not just from financial perspective but even boxing. Also Crawford Spence has not happened, there are all ready plenty saying its happening late and once one of them loses you'll have more people claiming it like they did May Pac.

            A nice win that but Thurman and Pac were both poor imitations of their best versions.

            I think Crawford and Spence are a lot closer to their best than Pac and Floyd were but I guess we'll see what we see.

              I’m more than surprised at the amount of love shown for Crawford here, while there’s very little support for Spence. A few thoughts….. 1) i remember back in the day I had heard at one point as Mayweather’s career was in its twilight, I read where he made a comment once that “the future of boxing lies in the hands of a kid named Errol Spence”. I read that and thought “who?”, started following him, and I believed in him ever since. 2) there’s literally NO WAY Spence gets KO’d! Remember we’re talking about the elite of the elite in both corners. Spence never gets hurt, or shows signs of fading. He does get hit, but he just keeps coming. And his opponent Crawford has never fought an elite in their prime. So what we all see Crawford do on a normal basis will not happen against Spence. 3) I also don’t think either guy gets KO’d. I believe Crawford will find a rhythm late in the fight, as he always does. The question is, when does that happen and where are the cards at that moment. I believe it will be too late. Spence by close decision
              I believe that Spence puts him in the grinder until he breaks his will, ribs, or face. But I've stated my opinion on this fight so many times that I won't go back into details until its finished.
