    As the title suggests. What fight had larger hype? The fight taking place this weekend or the great duel between Canelo and GGG?

    Canelo-GGG. Both of their first 2 fights did over 1 million PPVs, Spence-Crawford won't.

    Canelo and GGG are both bigger stars globally than Spence and Crawford.

    GGG-Canelo by a long way.

    The actual numbers will help reveal the truth but I imagine the answer is Golovkin Canelo.

    Most non-boxing fans have never even heard of Crawford and Spence. And many boxing fans haven't even watched their fights.

    Canelo-GGG, but Spence-Crawford isn't that far behind. I think it does close to 1 million buys.

    GGG and Big Red easily due to the destain and GGG having to corner Canelo for the fight.
    These guys disliked each other and the emotions were fully on fire from the fans and the boxers.

    Spence and Crawford is almost a gentleman fight.
    Two guys showing respect and no bad feelings for the other.

    I think both will go down as classics after this weekend.
