Crawford could be the face of boxing, but..

True, only fighting once a year what was bud doing the other 10 months of year? He was training for nelo, so fighting once a year is a good game plan to execute the bigger picture, which was to beat nelo

difference was all the good fighters were with top rank when floyd was with them so it didnt make sense to leave. top rank only had an old pac when crawford was there, all the other welters like thurman spence and porter were pbc

I am speaking of welterweights. Crawford's situation was very similar to Mayweather's. Mayweather was literally begging Arum for an Oscar De La Hoya fight for years but Bob never delivered it for him.

Which was one of the reason's why he left the company. Also, who are some of these good fighters are you speaking of at Toprank when the time Floyd was there? All I know is that Mayweather chased an Oscar fight with Toprank but never got one.

He had to settle for a Zab Judah fight instead as a consolation prize.

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

Pacman was the smiling assassin. Always happy and joyful so he has that likability factor. Crawford isn't ugly. He's better looking than Mike Tyson and Mayweather.

He has a dry personality. He's not flashy. He's ugly. He deosnt have celebrity friends or girlfriend. No gimmick. Women dont watch his fights.
