Comments Thread For: Spence: Crawford Fight Biggest In Last 20 Years, Mayweather-Pacquiao Were Old, We're In Our Prime

[Murray Kelm]

These two are closer to their prime than may and pac were, but boxing has declined alot since that fight, I doubt that this fight even gets mentioned on mainstream television.

That fight was past it's due date & so is this one.

It is probably more significant than May vs. Pac, because Pac already had been decapitated by JMM, and Floyd was a much older version! That being said, this fight won't do anywhere near the numbers, because neither of them are STARS like May & Pac!

[TMLT87]

They're maybe not as past it as Floyd and Pac were but I doubt either of them are in their prime anymore. And this is definitely not the biggest fight of the last 20 years from a commercial perspective. Floyd and Pac were genuine global megastars.

That’s why props to Ryan and Tank

Spence and Crawford are closet to their primes, but Floyd and Manny were still the best 2 boxers in the sport.

This is definitely the best fight since then, but its 2 consensus top 5 p4p guys, not the 2 best.

Imo its more like Hagler V Hearns than Duran v Ray or Floyd v Manny.

My Crawford fan homie that wanted to bet all this time does not want to bet in July 2023.

He says he still thinks Bud wins but this fight simply over marinated.

I’m paraphrasing but he still talks Bud up but won’t get at this point.

A huge stretch he had 60+ fights, several wars with Marquez, plus tough fights on top of that, plus brutally ko'd

What constitutes shopworn if that isn't it

Wins over Bradley, Vargas, Matthysse, Horn, Broner, and Thurman that came after his loss to Floyd indicates he had quite a bit left in the tank. He def wasn’t prime, but still world class, as evidenced by him coming back to win two more titles.

Are Spence/Crawford in their absolute prime no but they are far more closer to their prime than Floyd/Manny was.

Floyd was still close to his prime being that all he was doing was cherrypicking, and Manny was an already brutally ko'd, shopworn fighter.

Hopefully Spence/Crawford fight like they are still in their prime come fight time.

Floyd was still close to his prime because of his cherry Picking?? Spoken like a true dumb arse

Floyd was still close to his prime because of his cherry Picking??

Absolutely. Let's not pretend that he was putting a who's who of murderous fighters in front of himself.
