Crawford is a great fighter. He also has no personality. It's hard to promote a guy like that.

I can see why Lomo is such a big deal. His 2nd fight out was against a seasoned champion 12 round fight where most dont go 12 rounds till 15 or more fights in or face champions. Yet with 12 fights Lomo has records as he is now a Champion of 3 different weight classes making fools of everybody he has faught except his last fight do to injury which he still had moved up to face a solid 135lb champion and KOed him with a solid body shot. Lomo is special without ?. But to add so is Crawford. Crawford will gain more and more attention as he cleans out 147 as 147 has been one of the hottest classes for decades. This fight with Horn alone will get more people watching him and if he keeps winning and takes out say spense or Thurman, Garcia, or Porter he will keep gaining attention just as much or more then Lomo.
But nobody can say Lomo doesn't deserve the attention he is getting as he has been lighting people up making some of the best fighters just quit and give up. If Lomo and Mikey Garcia lock up at 135 that would be a huge PPV. But I believe Mikey is continuing to move up which Lomo will have to stay at 135 for awhile as he is truly not even a 135lb fighter yet. Most lightweights will have a close to 10lb advantage on fight night against Lomo right now. He has to grow I to the weight. He has moved so quickly as he only has 12 fights under him but has 3 weight class championships. Impressive to say the least as it's never come close to being done before. Remember he was a 2x Olympic gold, with 396 wins with 1 loss I believe. That's crazy!!Comment

Crawford has a great personality. He just doesn't boast about himself or talk ****. He let's his fist do the talking which is plenty enough.
I'm sure if he takes out the 147 class like he did the others he may start to open up more but some of the best fighters ever didn't need to talk **** to be impressive. But talking **** does help fan base but I think he is a stand up man doing a fine job.Comment

Canelo has popularity because he has faced all challenges and ran from nobody. Just look at his resume. Cotto, Floyd, Mosley, Bladimir, Hatton, Chavezjr, GGG, Lara, Trout, Kirkland, Angelo, khan and others. When Canelo faced Floyd he was just 22, and weight drained trying to out box the master of boxing instead of applying pressure. Remember to that Canelo only had 45 or so amateur fights before turning pro at 15. He learned on the job. He taught Lara and Trout when nobody else would. He took Trouts 0. That's why Canelo is the new PPV star and A side. People who discredit Canelo need to realize what he has accomplished with pretty much no amateur career and pro as a kid.
Also he has plenty of personality but doesn't speak English so most dont know what he says but he does talk himself up and has plenty of personality. If he spoke English he would probably be 2 or 3 x more popular then he already is though. Is I was his handlers I would have him learning that as much as boxing.
When he fights GGG again he will win 9 or more rounds.Comment

Arum can’t promote a guy who refuses to promote himself
Crawford has said nothing. That’s his decision to focus on the fight.
Good idea because Horn has made himself look like a fool with these crazy comments.Comment

If Lomachenko was on the app and Crawrord wasn't, they'd complain about that too. Just stfu and fight for your 3 million. You're hardly being treated like some minimum wage undercard fighter.Comment
