    I think Crawford is much better than Bradley and a big win over Pacman could have done a lot for his star potential but based on his personality I'm not sure he's ever gonna be a superstar type guy. You have guys like Floyd who play the villian perfectly and people pay to watch him lose. Manny had that whirling dervish style that made his fights a must watch and guys like oscar with the movie star looks and pedigree.

    Crawford, IMO, has great talent but he just seems to be lacking something to make people want to root for him or care enough to root against him. I'm a fan, hes American and fun to watch but I'm not convinced he will ever be someone a casual fan would bother to pay to watch.. maybe a big Spence fight could change that who knows but Spence seems more like the guy who has the special it factor about him.

      They way Othet fighters get so much push, i agree. Especially Jermell aka the evil twin. Just think if he got the push sumbody like Broner gets.

          I don't think they're sick of playing second fiddle.
          They probably like it. No pressure.
          I don't hear them complaining.

              To me Haymon and Espinoza are bigger clowns than these Charlo brothers.
              If you have zero clue how to make use of these guys' prime years,
              then let them go.

                  You mean they're headliners for their next respective fights, finally.
                  Against Centeno/Trout level opponents? I see.

                    No. I mean Wilder is fighting Breazeale.

                    Garcia isn’t fighting Porter.

                    Lara isn’t fighting Hurd.

                    And you’re still a b**ch-made, goal-post moving phaggot
