I kinda like his personality. I dislike the trash talkers, Mayweather etc. I like Crawford, not a big mouth, takes a breath between words. Boxing is full of weird ****s these days. Honestly I can't understand people that bag Crawford.
Hagler was a name here in Australia before he fought Hearns or Leonard. I remember as a young kid, outside of the past aussie greats, if you weren't a huge name you got no media time. Hagler was big early 80's. Larry Holmes was also, not many others until Tyson mid 80's. So where I stand, Hagler was a superstar early 80's onwards.
Yes but. How many of those matches were memorable up until the KO? The bar is set at... don't bore the living **** out of people. Unconscious face down KO's give people amnesia, accumulation TKO's usually don't.
Actually I was just wondering what made you so butthurt you had to start this silly thread? No one said TC has to act like clown Mayweather. No one said he needs to be a Broner to get a larger fan base. No one said he needed to change anything. So what was your point anyway?
Crawford isn’t boring he’s just an ass hole .. I have no problem with a quiet fighter But Crawford is a soulless foul mouthed arrogant thug
The fact that he would have to act like a complete clown to promote himself, shows you what kind of society you're living in.
Personality doesn’t mean **** if you fight the best out there. His style is very fan friendly. Problem is no one wants to see him against fringe contender.
People paid to see AB and Mayweather get beat. People pay for a show. Most casuals aren't actually interested in the intricacies of boxing, they just want somebody to root for. Crawford doesn't make people hate him so people aren't going to jump on his opponents bandwagon to see him get beat. That just leaves the people interested in his career and unfortunately in boxing that's the minority. I also disagree about the Lomachenko part. Lomachenko plays to the crowd in his fights, At least when he's in control. Him taunting Sosa is one of his most watched highlights. If you can't see the difference between Lomachenko taunting Sosa when it's clear Loma is levels above him and Broner dry humping Maidana after months of trash talking then getting smacked around the ring than I can't help you.
It take two to be a "PPV star." Do you really think it was Spence that drew the numbers in his fight with Mikey Garcia? Do you think Kahn or Postol are as popular as Mikey? Comparing is nonsense. Crawford vs Brook was the highest rated boxing program on free TV since early 2019. Obviously someone wants to see him fight.
And Crawford was offended by Porter's old man. He wasn't interested in fighting Crawford when he had a belt. One which he did NOT fight a Champion to get but rather a box off for a vacant belt. So AFTER he has no belt Porter's old man changed his tune. Karma is a *****
