    I see him being like Rigo, with tons of talent but no marketing machine behind him....

    I think he is the best 135 pounder in the world today,, and probably the best fighter without a belt....
    He looks to be the real deal...
    Vs prescott he was a pure boxer, and in his last fight he was walking the guy down, looking for the ko,,, He is very versatile...
    I don't see him the same way. Rigo gets no marketing because for alot of people his style is boring. He moves alot and at times doesn't throw alot of punches. Crawford even when he was boxing vs Prescott he was throwing more punches than rigo usually does and wasn't moving as much to the point where. He's getting boo'd out the arena.

      Ok, I got you...
      I was just saying that the hype machine wont get behind Crawford... He will be like andre ward, where no matter what he does in the ring, the hype will go to guys like floyd, canelo, broner, GGG, Lucas, Danny, AMir, etc....

      Plus Bob Arum doesnt promote black fighters well.... He had floyd for a decade and could barely make him a star, and floyd has blown up since leaving arum...
      Arum has promoted alot of great fighters, but i cant think of one black guy he has ever hyped to the moon...

        Arum likes killers! The majority of black fighters don't fight that way. Floyd only blew up cuz he got to show off his persona on 24-7. He was always great n no one cared. People love/hate the way he is, that's what helped his success.

          Crawford does resemble Pernell Whitaker at times, especially when he switches to Southpaw. Bit early to telll quite how good but I think he might just be very good indeed. Ricky Burns should stay clear of him for a while.

            I can't say he'll be the a next big thing, it all depends on how he starts taking this soon to be found fame he can possibly build. He needs to keep training hard, he looks great in the ring and can see him progressing.

            I wouldn't be surprised if he is better off than Broner in 10 years.

              I think he is a well rounded fighter, with a lot talent. I got a chance to watch him live last month in Dallas. I really think he has a bright future ahead.

                    He's pretty good, but he seems to fight at one speed.
