JIM LAMPLEY SHUTS DOWN TERENCE CRAWFORD VS FLOYD MAYWEATHER FANTASY FIGHT; EXPLAINS TOUGH COMAPRISON 

Lampley is one of the most iconic boxing voices 🎙of all time. Miss him ringside on HBO. 🥊

JIM LAMPLEY!!! LEGEND!!! THANK YOU FOR ALL THOSE GREAT YEARS. BOXING IS DEFINITELY DIFFERENT WITHOUT YOUR VOICE.

Its good to hear from Jim Lampley again...Man I miss the HBO crew😢

I just wanted to say that Jim Lampley is by far the greatest sports announcer that has ever existed. He made every fight sound like a must see event b

Love seeing Lampley give his take. We need to hear more from him. I miss those HBO boxing days.

I miss Jim Lampley and HBO Boxing so much!! Their broadcast was always on another level!!

Notice how people are only mentioning Floyd and no other great champion. Floyd ain’t none of those men bud beat and Floyd skills are different and even in tough fights he was able to adapt and dominate

Really do miss those HBO fight nights with Jim Lampley at the Helm 👍 he's seen and covered the most memorable fights over the years on HBO, and one all time classic fight which he covered which is one of my favourite ever fights was Meldrick Taylor vs Julio Caesar Chavez on 1990🥊 would have loved to have been there to see that fight. Thanks for those HBO fight nights Jim.

Lampley still got it. Need him on TV

Generational fantasy matchups are pointless because the fact is that Terence Crawford would not be the same fighter he is today without Floyd Mayweather Jr. to study from, just like Floyd Mayweather Jr. would not be the same fighter he was without being able to study the fighters that came before him like Pernell Whitaker, James Toney, Sugar Ray Leonard etc.

Oh GOD I miss great boxing announcers and analysts Jim Lampley just pure perfection, can we please get this back in boxing

Prime Floyd was different bud my guy 4sho but beating Floyd in his prime would be extremely hard I think Floyd speed would win him this fight against bud and his defense was crazy too

Terence Crawford definitely deserves to be in the Legendary Boxing Status conversation now 🔥🔥🔥🥊🥊🇺🇲💯

😮😮Jim L. I really and truly wish we did rewind time to listen to you call fights again. You and your knowledge of boxing is paramount to boxing fans! Hearing your voice again brought back a nostalgic feeling of getting ready to watch the fight Saturday night again on HBO brother. Blessing to you and your family. Keep flying high.

This how you know Floyd the goat: every time someone do good in a performance they make up fantasy fights with Floyd.

It’s funny how haters claim Floyd try to steal the spotlight even though he the most followed and talked about boxer but won’t stop bringing up the man after fights and comparing him and making up fantasy fights with current fighters

Crawford is a great but Mayweather would’ve out boxed him win decision not care what people thought. Would be good fight just think Floyd would figure Crawford out.

Great to hear Jim Lampley again. The greatest boxing commentator ever 💪🏻🥊

WE MISS YOU, JIM!!!! Nothing like HBO Boxing!!

Jim Lampley knows His boxing great interview.

Lampley....Foreman....and ..Roy Jones.....have always been spot on with their analysis of the Boxing World.....along with Teddy Atlas and and the late great Bert Sugar!

Im taking Floyd in that bout. His boxing ability and defense was second to none he was hard to hit.

Thank you so much for this one. Such a joy to listen to this man.

Cus was a genius, Emmanuel was genius , Floyd Sr were geniuses as far as trainers.

So ppl going to bring up Floyd every time someone have a good performance?

Great interview. I could listen to Jim Lampley all day 💯

Facts: Terrence Crawford fought Errol Spence at 35. He has a record of 40-0, 31 KOs. Floyd Mayweather jr fought Miguel Cotto at age 35. He was 42-0, 26 KOs. Will Terrence Crawford go on to beat Mayweather’s 50-0 record, will he beat Canelo Alvarez as well, stay tuned to find out on the next episode of dragon ball z

What a great interview!!! 💪💪💪😌

Jim lampley is brilliant! He’s passion and overall boxing iq is immensely missed he was mr hbo for sure every big fight I remember his voice!

People are so obsessed with power and some people would favor Crawford over Floyd because of that. Floyd beat Canelo with IQ alone and he couldn't just walk through his punches. The boxer with the highest IQ wins and that's Floyd. Believe it or not power is not what beat Spence, Danny is probably the biggest puncher at welterweight. Brook and Porter said Spence hits harder than Crawford but guess who won, Crawford. Why? Superior IQ #peace.

The absolute best commentary I've heard in years!! Jimbo👍🏼

Lampley brother.. such a nostalgic voice and analysis from a man who shaped what boxing is to me.

Arturo Gatti was a showcase Floyd Mayweather performance. Crawford's performance vs Errol Spence was VERY similar to Floyd's against Arturo Gatti in terms of Damage dealt vs damage taken and a display of total dominance at every level in every aspect of the sport.

I’m a big Crawford fan but Floyd different. That’s all I’m going to say.

Floyd and spence are two completely different fighters. . . No comparison!!!

Great seeing Jimbo, we miss you calling the fights!

floyd connect pct was 40% and he held opponents to only 16% landing now go check crawford career numbers lol

I don't think we can truly start to draw a conclusion until we see more of Bud. Is Bud elite? I think so, but his career isn't over. Have we seen the best of Bud or was Saturday night his best? That's the point Jim is trying to make.

Literally was just wondering about Jim Lampley & where he’s been at… Hopefully he makes more videos

l love the words of brilliant and genius when describing Crawford. LOVE IT!!!

Boy they're still looking for someone to beat Floyd eventhough he retired years ago. 😆

Miss you Jim, boxing ain’t the same without your analysis

Thanks Jim! Love you Man.

Great breakdown Jim, you still have it, also a great story

Miss my boy Jim lampley, boxing is by not the same without him

Im astonished by how many people, inside boxing, knew so little about Crawford, his skill level and determination.

Crawford is already an all time great. It is extremely difficult to go from 135 to 147 and remain undefeated in 40 fights while becoming a 9-time world champion (1 lightweight belt, 4 light welterweight belts, and 4 welterweight belts). fury's magic gloves versus Wilder, in sparring (Nicholas Asberry), versus Christian Hammer, and his multiple failed drug tests (vs Klitschko) is his legacy.

Floyd washes Bud, 2 totally different levels, ppl really think Floyd is just money and a 0, the man has beaten THE MOST champions in boxing history, is tied for most Lineal titles in boxing history… if you didn’t know Lineal is basically the equivalent of being undisputed

I wish Lampley would have been calling this fight. Love this guy!

Floyd name always trending after these fights and ppl always creating fantasy fights using him. The men people claim he would have a hard time with he beat and made it look easy. He been dominating and making boxers look like amateurs for years.

Brilliant analyst and historical boxing mind!

I wish I could have a beer with jim.and talk boxing with him.i have so much respect for jim.the knowledge he has about the sport is priceless.love u Jim thanks for all those great years

Oh man I miss that guy, glad he's doing ok

floyd is way faster than crawford foyd would hurt him, you think crawford can stand that hit mayweather got from sean mosley and still stood his ground, crawford would v been hospitalized

There’s was no better commentary than HBO and as you can see there still isn’t.. This is boxing IQ at its finest. Jim your are the GOAT

What a great interview

Floyd fought and beat hall of famers a d made it look easy. Floyd not Spence. Leave that alone. Would be a good fight but Floyd different.

I agree with Jim on his Tyson Fury take. He would be great in any era because he has supreme size and excellent boxing skills, footwork too.

I love hearing good ole Jim! That team plus max is always my favorite

It's always nice to see Jim.

I miss boxing on hbo i think hbo was way better than showtime

Muhammad Ali would smoke Fury. Had a hell of chin beating sonny Liston, George Foreman, Earnie Shavers. Had the stamina to go 15 rounds and had blistering hand speed and great footwork.

Great to still see the alltime great commentator Jim lampley still showing his interest and expertise in boxing!!!

Well spoken Mr. Lampley Much Respect

Exactly, Spence style wise is more similar to Alfredo Angulo than Floyd Mayweather 😅 look at the list of champions 🏆 beaten. Floyd is levels above.

The Floyd that beat Corrales was a beast. His speed was unmeasurable and unparalleled! Beyond blinding! Bud is my dude, but That Floyd beats Bud!

That prediction from Emanuel tells us all just how special of a coach he was . Rest easy manny

Strength n healing to lampley #salute

I love Bud. He made that fight with Spence look easy. Floyd made his entire career look easy. Floyd has beat more hall of famers. Oscar, Pacquiao, Canelo, Cotto, Shane Mosley, Marquez, Corrales, Gatti, Zab. Floyd is just on a different level. If ur hands break when you fight but you want to continue your career then u have to make adjustments in the way you fight. And he still got the job done

Floyd 8-4

Two great boxing analyst's

Great to see Jim Lampley. Legend!

Jim Lampley is an “All Time” great.

Spence is a pressure fighter without head and lateral movement. Crawford never had to think but simply react and counter. With that being said, Spence clearly isn't the same fighter @147, I felt the weight cuts been hurting him more and more each fight. To me he looked weak during the Porter fight. Now I've always said Crawford's gifts would be the difference, and it would be a better match at 154 for Spence. You can't get in the ring with a guy like Crawford, and not be at full strength or 100%! I actually had Crawford stopping him in round 6 or 7, and I'm a Spence guy. I told my homeboy when it was announced that he can't beat Crawford at 147. Just as I think Tank and Shakur beat Haney at 135, you must be at 100% to F with guys like that.

Man I'm still pissed HBO gave up on boxing! Jim, Max and the gang man I miss it so much.. All of my boxing news was Jim lampley

I would watch fights not even realizing they were great moments. Lampley is a part of my life frfr.

Errol Spence and Floyd Mayweather are two completely different fighters. One comes in straight lines throwing a stiff jab, who is flat footed with no head movement. Although a good fighter, Erroll is far from Floyd when it comes to ability to adjust in fights. Floyd was also defensively brilliant with great twitch movements and speed. Floyd is a different gravy to anyone Bud would have fought.

Floyd is undoubtedly the greatest fighter of his era and in his prime was untouchable. Crawford got touched up by Kavaliauskas, Porter etc. Those guys wouldn't touch Mayweather. Crawford is great. But he isn't the greatest fighter of his era without reprieve. He's in the debate. But he's not outright the greatest of his time.

E.J is a good boxer. Every boxer experience a off night. Ali, Tyson,Roy Jones, Hopkins, De La Hoya. All these guys had an off night.

wow I Miss listening to Jim Lampley

The reason why Floyd would win that fight is as simple as two words……1. Speed and last but not least….. 2. Feint

Floyd did a 3 month bid and Floyd sparred him. When Floyd got into shape all Spence would say i held my own. Everyone else said Floyd have him that work.

ESPN or Showtime needs to give him a commentary contract. Great hearing him again

Hearing Jim Lampley speak makes me so miss HBO boxing!!!!!!

Goddamn I miss Lampley

All you have to do is look at Mayweather vs arturo gotti.........bud is not even close to floyds level

What a GREAT story about Emanuel Steward.

I showed my best friends father the Terence Crawford fight from Saturday nite. And we were talking and reminiscing about HBO boxing damn I miss HBO boxing…

Jim Lampley was spot on. Now that Crawford was so impressive and destroyed Spence. How does he fight moving forward? Does he think he can do this to anybody and simply try to be this same person in every fight? Or does he try to focus on staying undefeated and riding this wave and taking less risks? Does he get in with someone who is just as dynamic as him and not look great? We've seen it all before. A fighter looks AWESOME one fight and ordinary the next. Styles make fights and different fighters fight differently on different nights under different circumstances. Mayweather found a way to keep winning consistently. We'll know more about Crawford's long-term after Spence.

After watching what Bud did to who he did it to and how if i had a gun to my head and had to get it right I would pick Bud. Hard to pick against him after the man who you picked to win the fight was just as shocked as the ones who picked against him. It was a performance for the ages. Now Floyd could once again make me eat crow he did it several times during his career. I didn't necessarily pick him to lose in a lot of those fights but i kept thinking this one could be it I didn't have confidence he would pull it off every time yet he made it look easy in a lot of those fights so who knows we'll never know but it's fun to speculate.

Jim Lampley miss this guy his voice is iconic and easily top 2 best boxing commentators and sports analysts ever he was very interesting on hbo one of the main reasons I loved boxing

Good health to you Lampley, legend of the game.

He basically said Floyd would win against Crawford because Floyd style of fighting could beat anybody on any given day. The bud win against Spence was a 1x thing and that everyone else he fights after will have a different approach than what Spence had.

Man, Lampley used to be on some bullsh*t back in the day but this is proof he knew when he was just being a company man because he knows boxing. And I totally agree with is "Crawford Question": will Crawford make the mistake and think he beat Spence so easily because of his "greatness"; or he best Spence so easily because of Spence's flaws? The latter is the truth. Crawford is that good, but Spence was never that good, and that can create a false sense of ability as was the case with Spence.

Love the way Jim breaks it down

What a great discussion

Flloyd was beaten up by Spence during sparring. How the hell is he going to cope with Bud?

Bud would have been Floyd's greatest test to pass....Bud is the truth

Jim Lampley is the Shakespeare of boxing. Easily the most eloquent man ever to call a fight. I miss this gentleman ringside so much. I'm hoping the camera shaking is not Parkinson's.

Phenomenal assessment by mr. Lamply
