    Looking at Floyd’s and Pac-Man’s opponents, they beat ATG and hall of famers.. how do we compare the current crop? Is anyone they have beat comparable?

    They don't compare in terms for stardom or resume they are not even in the same ball park.

    Of course they were. Even past their prime, the sold over 4 million PPV buys, Spence-Crawford might pull in 1 mill max that shows who were/are the bigger stars.

    Of course May and Pac were far bigger, they were in a far deeper division where most fought each other.
    The numbers speak for themselves.

    Floyd and Pac were bigger and its not even remotely ****ing close. Spence and Crawford could walk the streets largely unnoticed outside of America, and to an extent even within it.

    You could Crawford and Spence in the Bradley category. No where near Pac/May.
