Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Crawford-Spence Will Be Biggest Fight in Boxing

[Removed Now]

They'll both need signature wins at WW. I do agree their fight will be bigger than either one facing Thurman. The Joshua/Wilder started to fizzle after Joshua/Parker. I don't think Canelo/Golovkin II will have the same hype it once did.

Joshua vs Wilder is the biggest fight to make. That's the one casuals will watch. We need the heavyweight division to come back. Canelo vs GGG I think is basically dead. GGG may lost his IBF title.

If built nicely then yep I totally agree. There isn’t actually one fight that stands out at the moment as big in boxing.

GGG vs enhanced Canelo?

Dunno about this being PPV until maybe 2020. Those guys are the truth, but they aren't even close to being PPV material for some reason.

If anything, making a WW tourney would be ideal. They could make the final a PPV bout. As always, surely it won't happen.

Garcia vs Loma is the megafight IMO.

Yeah I put that one higher as well.

Maybe that fight but then it would have to be next year with the impending Canelo ban. The WSBB cruiserweight final is mouthwatering doe.

I slightly disagree due to their ages and available competition.

From a skill standpoint, it's by far the best the sport has to offer. There's nothing that's even close. (I'd ranked Loma v. Garcia a distant second.)

However, they'd need some big name sacrifices on their resumes to make this fight a massive PPV. Considering the creative ducking and politriks that's taking place all over the sport, it'd take another 2 years minimum to build this fight up properly. By that time Crawford will be near retirement and Spence will probably be at 154.

We may never see this fight as things currently stand.

no way is that bigger than Spence vs Crawford. head to head on the same night it a no brainer

[b00g13man]

Yeah....I don't see it.

it's vastly premature to talk about crawford spents crawford will have to beat horn 1st and that's not to likely after crawford pulling out with a fake hand "injury"

Crawford will stop horn.. rd 10tko

I think skill wise Garcia vs Loma is a higher match up.

Those skills are more proven at least on the big page.

At this point, you got one 4 divisions champ vs a 2 divisions champ + 2 olympian golds.

On the other side 1 division champ versus 2 division champ.

I don’t know if Spence is built like that.
