Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz: Wilder Talks Too Much, Let Him Try To Back it Up!

[Redgloveman]

It's true Wilder does talk too much but he's getting allot of attention from it. It's called self promotion if he was quiet he would be even less of an attraction. Andre Ward was a good boxer but he was seen as boring because of his low key personality hence the proof in his ppv buys. Same for Crawford good talent but he doesn't have the charisma.

Andrew Ward was seen as boring because he had a boring boxing style which rarely produced exciting fights and generally involved spoiling the his opponents work. If you're a boring fighter you could make the argument that you need a big personality to bring the crowds in. It isn't just because he didn't act like enough of a d*ck.

Look at Manny Pacquiao. He gathered a huge following in the US, and he wasn't even American. He didn't need to "talk too much" (to use your phrase) to do that. He let his fists do the talking and always took difficult and compelling fights.

Beyontay wasn't this talkative when Fury and Klitschko were around.
