Comments Thread For: Crawford Happy To Be a Household Name But Feels He Should've Been One a Long Time Ago

Crawford a great fighter but has a somber personality if compared to Sugar Ray Leonard, Pacquiao and others. He's smiling & joking more now though so that will help.

LOL I never became fans of Pacquiao and srl because of them smiling and making jokes. I loved them because they fought like badasses in that ring! crawford is stoic. It's a shame that these guys have to turn into sideshow freaks to get noticed. that fighting skills/style alone isn't enough.

No boxer these days is a household name. People don't follow boxing like they used to.

$600k buys makes you a household name?? LOLLL STOPPPPPP..

Bud Crawford isn’t a household anything, he has zero personality, and can’t promote himself to save his life.

what personality does canelo have? canelo is boring as hell on the microphone. what about tank? tank sounds like a ret@rd every time he opens his mouth. crawford is definitely a bigger name now after destroying spence.

Bud has only himself to blame, better late than never doe

This. I still remember after a fight, at ringside, some announcer asked spence about fighting crawford (like 2 yrs ago) and spence said he wanted it. And the camera zoomed to crawford (sitting down a few rows) and he just sort of grinned awkwardly and looked sheepish and didnt say anything.

I dont know what that was, but to me it looked like Spence had his heart.

Thats not how you sell a fight, or get people behind you.

Bud maybe shouldn't have signed with Bob that 2nd time. Bob didn't really do much as far as promoting Bud.

the next time someone doesnt recoginse bud down the grocery they are gona get smacked around by him

everytime bud says this type of stuff, im here but i should have been years ago, arum shifts a bit uncomfortable in his seat & needs a few extra drags out of that nice weed later in the evening to calm his mind, its a slight dig at him & his handling of crawford, just a little nick, arum might say listen bud i lost money on everyone of your fights lol, 2 sides to every story, but which is the Truth, it took the truth to elevate bud to this nice level but the ironic thing is that it was actually one of his easiest fights in the end

Bud it came when it was supposed to come.

Fighters like you, Pernell Whitaker. Need an alter ego. A gimmick. You wasn't trying to sell your soul to make a fast buck much respect.

that's why Top Rank fighters 9 times out of 10 beat pbc fighters and usually they do it easily. Seriously go check out the record when they fight. I think there is something to that. We all know that as long as crawford was with Top Rank the pbc fighters would never face him. So he went the free agent route. You can see the pbc shills on here are trying to do the same with shakur stevenson. the difference is that pbc does not have a lock on the lightweight or super lightweight divisions so that crap won't work.

O just shut up. Bud, like Canelo, are PBC fighters now. Stop hating. MR is irrelevant. GBP is run by an alcoholic and cross dressing cokehead. Al Haymon runs the game and he's black so deal with it. Now that Bud (who is also very black) is now with PBC you have the green light to stop pretending you like him. The same with Shakur when he crosses over to Showtime. Oh and just to make your blood boil Ryan will probably be with PBC before the end of the year. Hahahahahahaha

Isnt that what TR does at LW- force guys to sign with TR to get title fights?
