I think Ryan is a bigger commercial name than Crawford.
That 'Other' Site Serving Boxing News 24....Hours: "Ryan is a bigger name than Crawford"

But see, with that question, you're making the point.
Joshua being a bigger social media "star" doesn't necessarily translate to being a "bigger star". That's exactly why I'm asking the question.
I'm waiting for someone to produce some data (OTHER THAN Instascam numbers/Twitter followers) to justify the statement that Cryan Garcia, who has NEVER held gold as a pro, is a bigger "STAR" than Terence Crawford.
Because despite Crawford's blatant duck of Errol Spence, I firmly believe he's bigger THAN CRYAN. That's all I'm saying.
Now that's not saying much...I'm just sayin.
I have Cryan on the same level as someone like, say, Blair Cobbs. Cobbs sells fights with his mouth. Garcia sells the parents of the teeny boppers who fawn over him.
Crawford's hardcore fans who ignore his ducking KEEP paying to see him, then those fans try to convince others to check out this "switch hitter". It's just that they see- him getting two-pieced, wobbled and dropped (Kavaliauskas),
- him using sketchy gloves to get a KO (Avanesyan),
- his opponent has one leg (Benavidez),
- he tosses a low blow on "that guy who supposedly has a glass chin" (Khan),
- he gets outboxed for 4 rounds straight before getting what looks like a quit job stoppage (Brook),
- a ref stop a guy who's fighting back and still on his feet (Horn), or
- a guy have a tantrum in the ring (Porter)
If Cryan beats Tank, THEN we can safely say he's above Crawford as a drawing name. That's what I'm arguing.Comment

Yeah I get your point.

Garcia is definitely a bigger draw than Crawford. Crawford went free agent and no promoter wanted to touch him. Promoters know they'll lose money on that cardboard box. If Garcia leaves GBP, promoters will be lining up to sign him.Comment

If garcia beats tank he has a better win than any of Crawfords matches and he's only in his 20s.
So who cares if a site hates Crawford at least they're calling out fighters for not making fights the fans want I guess..
Wasted career at this point absolutely pointlessComment
