All promoters get carried away by the prospect of something big, something new and something glitzy.

So it’s no wonder that Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn considered the stacked debut U.S. card orchestrated by Saudi Arabia’s Turki Alalshikh for Aug. 3 in Los Angeles and declared it the best card ever staged on U.S. soil.

Is it?

Don King would have something to say about that considering cards like this 1994 wonder: “Revenge: The Rematches” at MGM Grand: Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. vs. Frankie Randall (140-pound title), Simon Brown vs. Terry Norris (154-pound title), Gerald McClellan-Julian Jackson (middleweight title), Azumah Nelson-Jesse James Leija (super-featherweight title).

What about the 1979 card that offered two epics: Sugar Ray Leonard stopping Wilfred Benitez late in the 15th round and Marvin Hagler versus Vito Antuofermo going the distance for a disputed draw?

Others may also argue, but does it really matter?

The depth of the Aug. 3 card is unquestionable, as it offers a main event in which unbeaten three-division champion (and two-time undisputed) Terence Crawford seeks a fourth division belt against unbeaten WBA junior-middleweight champion Israil Madrimov.

Former heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. is headed to a likely slugfest against his rotund friend, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller.

Mexico’s wildly popular new 140-pound champion Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz makes his first title defense against countryman Jose “El Rayo” Valenzuela.

And recently dethroned junior-middleweight champion Tim Tszyu meets unbeaten Vergil Ortiz, who’s knocked out every opponent he’s faced and took the bout despite having a Saturday co-main event in Fresno. 

“On paper, we’ve seen good cards before that don’t pan out,” ProBox TV’s analyst Paulie Malignaggi said on Thursday’s episode of “Deep Waters.” “Dude, a couple of these [undercard] fights could be main events.

“Vergil Ortiz-Tim Tszyu is a main-event, dynamite, blockbuster, pick-em kind of fight.”

Malignaggi said “it’s wild” that Tszyu has already jumped at the chance for such a difficult fight less than a month after he sustained a deep head gash when the top of his head slammed into Sebastian Fundora’s elbow early in Fundora’s bloody upset title victory March 30 in Las Vegas.

“Coming off that huge cut, he’s going to jump in with Vergil Ortiz, and Vergil Ortiz, who’s had medical issues and has been slow getting up the ladder  the last couple of years also has greatness expected of him. And he’s just going to jump in with Tim Tszyu?”

Counting up the other plots – Madrimov making his first title defense against a pound-for-pound king, Crawford going after the fourth belt, the fun of Ruiz-Miller – is “getting my mouth watering,” Malignaggi said.

Fellow “Deep Waters” analyst and former welterweight champion Shawn Porter has fought Crawford and was stopped in the 10th round in 2021. He said watching Crawford again versus a younger, game champion in Madrimov will be startling.

“He’s virtually unstoppable, the most versatile boxer in the world,” Porter said of the two-handed power puncher Crawford.

Porter approached Madrimov at the fighters’ introductory news conference in New York Wednesday and asked him, “What’s the No. 1 thing you’ve got to do?” in the Crawford fight.

“I gotta be me,” Madrimov answered.

“Great answer,” Porter replied on the show. “That’s what you’ve got to do. Terence Crawford is a master at getting fighters outside what they do well and forcing them to do the things they don’t do well so he can defeat them.

“That fight is going to be fire hot. Plus, you’ve ‘Pitbull.’”

Also appearing: unbeaten David Morrell in his light-heavyweight debut and two-time Olympic gold medalist Andy Cruz in separate fights.

Whether it’s the best of all time doesn’t really matter.

It’s the best that boxing has done in a long time, and there’s no debating that.
