    Can't, it's too vast a topic for me to do a TL/DR version. I've a striking suspicion we know what it is though.

    That is your fear manifesting itself on an internet boxing forum. It's quite embarrassing, to be honest. Go see a shrink.

    The strong silent aura suits him. He's reminiscent of Hagler.

    I said the same exact thing. People just want something to complain about. But, the one thing people don't complain about is how TC whoops their heros. LOL

    Considering Crawford has been shot in the head, I don’t think he’s in any hurry to be a pretend gangster.

    His best bet is to go extra working class and start doing Home Depot and Walmart commercials.

    I don't think he needs to change his image, but he needs to work on giving better interviews and being in the media more often. In both the Indongo and Horn fights despite performing great in the ring he did little to nothing to promote either fight. Indongo, who doesn't speak much english gave better interviews for the build up than Crawford did. This was also the case in the Horn fight where Crawford for the buildup barely did anything to sale the fight while Horn and his team were selling the fight to the hilt.

    Crawford in interview showing his complete lack of personality. Even the interviewer looked like she was falling asleep talking to Crawford, who comes off as socially awkward in interviews.

    You'd be surprised by how many white people in America are still afraid of black people and project it in one way or another. Race relations don't suck for no reason, folks.

    I'm so white I'm pink, friend and our politics are likely pretty far apart. That said, I'm American before anything else. Please include that in your calculus.
