Does anyone have a problem with Bob comparing Legends to his current fighters?

[RetroSpeed05]

In today's press conference he said Crawford is the best WW he seen since SRL and said something similar with Ali and Loma in terms of seeing talent.

Imo it's just promotion he did the same with Floyd and Pac when they were with him.

He's a promoter.. and he's really old. Old people give less shts about what others think of them. Basically, Arum will say whatever crazy thing that pops into his mind. Doesn't necessarily make him less intelligent, but treat him as if he has Tourette's

He’s a promoter who’s promoting his fighter. He’s not gonna come out and say “Crawford’s good, but other generations destroy him.”

I usually don’t like comparing current fighters to ATG’s and I hate to sound like Mick Hennessy but I genuinely do see shades of SRL in Crawford, so that comparison is reasonable IMO

Why? No different than guys on here and their "weekend highs" after every fighter gets a W....Atleast he gat a reason for saying bonehead shyt. Lol

Bob Arumstein is full of it

No problem for me. He is just being a promoter and probably doesn't believe his own BS. Once he makes a statement like that he looks ****** if Crawford loses. He also said Loma was better than Mayweather so any Loma loss makes him look ******.

He's just doing his job. He said the same things about Oscar and Mayweather. What do you want him to say..."My fighter sucks 8 bags of ****s and isn't fit to drive a cab"?

This may be open for actual discussion. What a friggin fight at 130/135 that would be. I don't even know who I would pick. Maybe the ring would cave in having that amount of boxing IQ inside of it all at once.

Depends who he's doing it for. If he's trying to say a black fighter is as great as some past great, that won't sit well with me.

Anyone else, like Loma, Pac, or whatever non-black fighter, would be acceptable.



JK, that's what some of you won't admit.
