    At the very least, I think it's probably bigger than the last 4 welterweight fights that resulted in a new undisputed welterweight champion. Meaning bigger than Judah-Spinks, Spinks-Mayorga, Honeygrahn-Curry, and Curry-Milton.

    Not bigger than Leonard-Hearns 1, however.

    Disagree about what ? Trinidad and ODLH were by far bigger names than Spence and Crawford.

    ODLH was 31-0 and had won 10 Welterweight title fights, with wins over the likes of Whitaker, Quartey, Chavez, Camacho, and was either P4P number 1 or 2 at the time.

    Felix Trinidad was 35-0 and had won 15 world title fights at Welterweight, with wins over the likes of Blocker, Whitaker, Camacho, Carr, Campas, and was either P4P number 1 or 2 at the time.

    It's not even a comparison......

    I don't think it is the biggest personally but if it is to someone else then fine. No skin off my back.

    The biggest issue is that the amount of casual fans watching boxing now vs say the 80's and 90's has dwarfed. People on the street knew Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran. Boxing was a staple on sports news tv. Now it's a sidebar on most webpages and it is hardly ever mentioned on sports news channels.
