Is it safe to say that Crawford is generally less liked than Spence?

[WhatDisButtonDo]

Serious discussion, not that it matters. I just want to see the fight , but I think it's a chance for Bud to play heel.

Nope I can't stand puffy ******* while Crawford is one of my favorite fighters

By the media, yes. But a lot of that is his own doing.

But Crawford has a bigger fanbase than people give him credit for. He's a well liked fighter.

Exact opposite for me. I think Spence has the chance to be a All time great.

Crawford has fought nothing but garbage and he hasn't looked that spectacular doing it.

Bud Crawford is one of the most overrated fighters imo.

Please tell me one good guy he has beat.

Does it matter? Popularity don't win fights

BOTH get hate, boxing fans are extremely NEGATIVE and here is proof of that...name a fighter who you can honestly same majority of boxing fans actually like...You Can't because they all get bashed by somebody regardless if it is Social Media or on this Weirdo Forum that has been infested and ruined by mental ill trolls

I like Terence Crawford, and I think he is respected as a top 5 P4P fighter by UK fight fans. But he doesn't come across great in media stuff, and Bob Arum is viewed as an old fossil who stops the best fighting the best. While Crawford is with Arum, it is expected that Crawford will continue to be matched as the favourite, while calling out the other top fighters in his division. At Lightweight and Super Lightweight it was different, because he was a bigger guy and he had to state his claim. But now he is in the position where he can fight contenders while claiming to be the best and making decent money. Stepping up against Errol Spence or Keith Thurman isn't a foregone conclusion now, and no doubt Arum will be hesitant to risk it all, no matter what he says in interviews. "We want Spence!", "Spence is ducking!" etc.

Yea cause Spence actually beat a good fighter in brook. Crawford is 31 and hasn't fought a top fighter yet. Tells u arum is a great promoter

Yes because Crawford isn’t proactive with promoting his fights.

Yeah but all you spencetards are going to come back to earth before the fight and after the fight both Arum and Bud have been calling out Spence and Arum said he is willing to work with the enemy like he did in the may/pac fight but Spence fought a midget and then the ATG thumped his chest and said give me old man river Pac.Spenceneeds to speak up they are calling me out let’s make the deal.
