Crawford could be the face of boxing, but..

[JakeTheBoxer]

..he is once a year fighter.

Canelo was a face of boxing because people have seen him fighting twice of three times a year.

Crawford has fought 3 times in the last 3 years.

His activity is very poor, that is why he is not even popular.

Bud can’t be the face of boxing because he’s ugly. I’m not even saying that as an insult; he really is an ugly man. If his style was super-exciting, something that transcended his physical appeal, like Tyson, it might be a different story — or maybe if he had some gimmick like Jake Paul. The average person doesn’t care what his accolades are.

[Da Pimper]

Who the hell cares. Real boxing fans will enjoy watching him box. Stop worrying about another man’s looks and popularity.

[champion4ever]

Y’all stop hating and being sore losers! I know that Canelo’s loss was very hurtful and painful but your guy lost. So give Bud is proper due and just admit that he was the better fighter that night. Pathetic !

Mike and Floyd weren’t exactly handsome either

I think what holds TBud back is he’s not a particularly engaging character and likes to be left alone

Muhammad was extra every time he met someone and would narrate every conversation

Sugar Leonard was interview trained

Mike was a raw unfiltered personality who’d go off the cuff

Oscar acted like a celebrity

Floyd was willing to talk enough to be charismatic

manny is a cheerful guy

[SouthpawRight]

TBud has 3 or 4 fights remaining

I’d have him fight twice next year at 38

then one or two in 2027 at 39

retire undefeated go out on top as the undisputed middleweight king

Well, that’s why I brought up Tyson as an example. He was electric and outrageous. You don’t have to be exactly handsome, but not being handsome and being ugly are two completely different things. Floyd isn’t a good looking guy, but he’s not ugly either. He also, as you pointed out, brought other qualities to the table. Bud doesn’t capture the imagination, and his looks certainly don’t inspire positive attention. They can manufacture an aura around a good-looking fighter who’s just an ok champ, rather than the other way around.

bud does what bud does everyone is different

he has his style and its understated and thats how he is, hes not flash and loud like floyd

i think its a bit too late in his career to be 'the face' of boxing whatever that really means, i mean a big win over canelo should be qualification to achieve this but bud will probably just go home and noone will really hear from him for quite a while, is he going to take on the no1 challenger at 168? or retire or what?

[The Big Dunn]

Crawford doesn’t have the kind of charisma or personality to be the face of the sport despite being the best in it.

If someone could inject him with just a bit of delusional confidence and personality like Rolly, then he could be the face without question.
