Let's keep this thread open until the fight gets made.... I'm gonna be VERY optimistic and say that we see it in 2019. The buzz has officially started, and at this point everybody considers it the best fight in the sport. Thoughts on it?
If Crawford KOs Pacquiao and Spence KOs thurman on Fox after a playoff football game at the start of 2019 then i think it could grow into the type of PPV fight that makes it worth it for arum and haymon to do business
The later will happen.... the former will not happen because Pac ain't getting in there with Crawford... and at this stage... can't really blame him. Everybody who's not a casual knows that Crawford would destroy the current Pac. Who do you pick between Spence and Crawford right now, Neil?
Crawford Will Have his Moments, But Ultimately, he’s Toooooooo SMALL to Beat Errol Spence... Winner (Controversy Free) is #1 in the Sport, Pound for Pound...ASSuming Lomachenko and Mikey HAVEN’T Fought By Then... REED
ESPN’s Brief Dalliances w/Boxing PPV’s Didn’t Go Well...What Was their Top Seller, Margarita-Cintron!??... Top Rank Will NEED Showtime and/or HBO @ Some Point... REED
Why???... REED Ain’t Even Saying it Happens, But he’s Seen/Read NATHAN Suggesting it for Sure WON’T Happen.... REED
why would arum put one of his best fighters in the ring with a guy, probably the guy with the best chance to defeat lomachenko, who left his stable acrimoniously ?
i guess it depends on the terms of the espn contract. im under the impression its a long term thing. certainly ESPN will want to reap some rewards in pay per view revenue from their commitment to boxing with top rank
Spence via close but deserved decision. Crawford will test Spence, though. His hand speed and timing will make EJ have to adjust. Spence's size advantage and his stamina/ workrate will be key, though.
There Comes a Point Where Arum has to Accommodate the AMBITION of his Fighters or Run the Risk of Losing Them... As he Did w/DeLa and Floyd... REED
Garcia CONSIDERED Moving up to '54 to Face Cotto and has Made it Known he'd Be Willing to Fight @ '47 Also (Which would Be FOOLISH on his Part, in REED's Opinion)... Why WOULDN'T He Be Willing to Face Lomachenko???... Lomachenko and Garcia Both Want BIG Fights, LEGACY Fights.... REED
Garcia’s Toooooo Good to Be Left Completely Out of the Reindeer Games ...He’s Not Poor Rudolph... He Has a Working Relationship with PBC and Golden Boy Said They WONT Demand Options on Future Bouts if Mikey Faces Linares... If Lomachenko WANTS Mikey, Arum’s Going to have to Put his Ego to the Side OR Run the Risk of Losing Yet Another Pound for Pound Level Fighter... REED
Good fight,.. non stop body busts,.. both spraying like a Tarantino clip mid fight, crowd squealing for death,.. god bless America, hope it happens.
