Bud Crawford's personality: Bud vs Porter fight prediction

[RENE JUNIOR]

...What Personality? Excellent Fighter though!

Hahaha exactly!

Definitely an excellent fighter

[QballLobo]

So you're interested more in interviews than the fights, if a guy can really fight that's my first attraction the rest don't matter to me.

They train actors, they teach singers how to sing, they do makeovers to project an image, with boxers they say just go be popular, it doesn't work that way many need to be taught how to sell themselves and boxing promoters don't want to employ the right people to do that.

It’s part of the game. It’s prize fighting. You have to sell yourself.
Floyd didn’t start doing big numbers until he took on the money persona and started talking ****.
Before that he was known as a top P4P guy who was pretty quite most of the time. Haymon taught him how to sell himself like one of Al’s music acts.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Press conferences and that type stuff means little to me and doesn’t to many real boxing fans. I think Crawford win a well deserved UD in a tough fight where Porter has his moments.

You's a damn lie.

Etc etc etc.

These are the guys who you remember decades after the fact.

Nobody remembers Freddie Norwood. Because he had no personality. One of the best fighters in the business and you'd struggle to remember a fight he had.

Nobody remembers Harold Sconiers except that he dropped Wilder. Yet that guy fought many who would go on to championship gold.


You've got to have a character. That's what sells bro. I don't care if you call yourself a real fan, you're lying if you say that you only care about boring fighters with no personality. You dial in because this guy over here is a trash talker and you want to see him get his ass kicked - because that's the personality.

Very true!
Historically, Most legends, if not all, all mixed up the buildups of fights with a whole lot of charisma, enthusiasm and energy, Bud does NONE of that.

I realize you have a hard on for Crawford but the reason why Norwood and Sconiers aren’t remembered is because they weren’t upper echelon fighters.

You can carry on about boring and all that WWF bu!!shyte but I’m impressed by what goes on when the bell rings.

[tritium_arma]

Crawford has a boring personality. Same as Spence. If they ever fight the press conferences will dull as **** with Spence's voice cracking all the time and Bud being soft spoken. But they're killers in the ring and should be a good scrap.

Neither is Crawford, since according to his promoter, hes a money loss leader.

So this narrative that all people care about is what goes on in the ring was debunked by Arum himself.

You need personality and character. Period. You are the minority. Stay in your bubble and watch your guy continue to suck at the gate because you aren't pushing him to do his job OUTSIDE the ring.

Money is made from CASUAL fans.

They want characters.

We've seen it time and again.

Ali didn't get over with casuals because of the boring ass clinchfest that was Rumble in the Jungle.

He got over because of his mouth.

Crawford is 1000x the fighter either one of two could ever dream to be.

It’s not a big deal. I’m just interested in who the better fighter is and you like the cheerleader/WWF angle.
