    Rivera was befuddled.

      Let's be fair. He made Martin miss 80% of his power punches.

      His defense is legit upstairs. It's downstairs that's lacking.

        I am bring fair. A fighter needs their own identity.

          Tell that to everyone who keeps comparing Crawford to prime Floyd and other fighters as "Young Manny Pacquiao", plus Felix Verdejo who everyone called "Boxing's Next Cotto" and "Boxing's Next Trinidad", and NSB calling Boots the "modern day Roy Jones".

              You literally just saw Crawford go out there doing a Philly Shell and Boots straight up ripped off Jones' drunken master fight style.

              It's not about clothes, man.

              "At The End Of The Day", the idea about cosplaying stars is not new or unique to Rivera and he shouldn't be criticized. If you're going to do that, why don't you hold Joshua to that standard?

                  You're only focused on clothes.

                  My point is, it's not just about clothes.

                  Lots of fighters emulate whoever.

                  Criticize them ALL, or criticize none of them. Don't cherrypick, let's be consistent.
