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

It's crazy to think Oscar was 35 when he fought pac and Oscar was consider washed up.. but Crawford is 35 right now and is consider in his prime

I doubt fans will ever see Vergil Ortiz vs Jaron "Boots" Ennis fight each other in their prime. This is boxing.

The hype and intrigue surrounding this fight is still high. Both fighters are still in their prime and are both undefeated.

By the time we got Mayweather VS Pacquiao, both fighters had faced questionable opponents beforehand, and Pacquiao got knocked clean out in one bout.

The hype surrounding Spence VS Crawford is White Hot.

The hype surrounding Mayweather VS Pacquiao when signed, was interesting but Luke warm.....and their fight was a dud.

I'm expecting a classic war. Nothing bland like DLH VS Trinidad.

Guaranteed it will be a better fight than mayweather vs pac. Neither guy are as defensive as mayweather and neither are likely to look as lost against the other as pac did trying to get his offense going.

The hype was luke warm? It was the highest selling fight of all time man lol the hype for that fight was insane. The whole world watched it.

IMO they are not in their prime but at least this fight is getting made. Very rarely a big fight that doesn't get made. The one comes to my mind was Bowe/Lewis.

but to call Manny shopworn is a huge stretch.

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

Both are way past they're primes. This fight's no where near as big & they'll be lucky to make a tenth of what they did.

[ruedboy]

Morales vs Barrera 3X
Pac vs Morales 3X
Pac vs Marquez 4X
Fury vs Wilder 3X
Ali vs Frazier 3X
Bowe vs Holyfield 3X
Enuff said

I'm sorry but alot of the hype for this fight has left. WE wanted this 2 or so years ago. Now both of these fighters especially Spence have been pretty inactive. Crawford is 35 and father time catches up to EVERYONE. The hype is nowhere near where it was or where it should be for a fight that is happening next month. Action wise though it should still be a very very good fight that I expect TC to get the better of. I see him winning this in an 8-4 7-5 clear UD. Both of these fighters are out of their prime but should still be a fun fight.
