    If Spence wins tonight, it’s an even bigger comeback story than Fury’s

    Almost every time someone gets drunk and gets thrown out of their car, they’re dead and being picked up in pieces.

    Spence is a walking miracle in my opinion.

    If he beats DSG tonight, a GREAT fighter in his own right, then he has the greatest boxing comeback story in our lifetimes, perhaps in history.

    They will have to make a book and a movie about it.

    I haven't followed the build up to the fight, but judging from the headlines on boxingscene, I get the feeling that the promoters are not really pushing this angle of the miraculous heroic comeback by Spence. Step back and think about it, Fury's problems were, if you believe him, due to mental illness, something almost everyone can relate to and thus sympathetic. Spence was a drunk and not only put himself in danger but seriously could've killed people, nothing heroic about that, it's criminal!

      Close. Lets see ejected from ferrari life saved by not wearing seatbelt how coincidental. Fury so called had a melt down was on ******* and steroids or atleast PED. Fury came back 2 tune up fights before wilder. Spence coming back no tune up fight. If spence beats this quality opponent in style i give it to spence. For no tune up fight broken bones ect shouldve died is bigger comeback. The best comeback ever of last 10 yrs is miracle man jacobs to comeback that type of deadly cancer and still fight at championship level for several yrs.

            Spence took a far bigger blow than any fighter getting KTFO. Either he's crazy or truly built different if he's able to return to form after that brutal accident.

              Greatest comeback of all time GTFOH.

              Vinny Paz, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman and forget a car crash Willie Pep came back from a plane crash and went on a 70+ fight undefeated streak!

                Hmmm. I guess I spoke too soon. Still think it’s a better comeback than Fury though (and I have slowly become a fan of Fury even though I am not from the UK or Gypsy).

                  If Spence does win i would not be at all surprised if he went out and celebrated by doing exactly the same thing.

                    I don't think neither is a big deal. Spence just did what he was supposed to do. Take care of himself and heal up and then train hard. Nothing miraculous about that to me. He never lost a fight in the ring so why wouldn't a determined young boxer come back stronger than ever? What ever Fury had to come back from he did to himself. It's hard to feel sorry for a guy who is so depressed because he is a heavyweight champion worth many millions and a hero to his countrymen. Poor sad Fury. It is his own fault he had anything to come back from. I am glad he got his sh it together and is living a better smarter life and life style.
