Why can`t Crawford be the next Mayweather?

So bud is Marvelous Marvin Hagler?

Naw...maybe more Vernon Forrest RIP before he got his shot at Shane Mosley

Boxing is on the decline, and there's a severe lack of starpower, including at WW. You can only become a superstar by fighting other stars. Crawford's only chance at superstardom was to fight Pacquaio 2 years ago, then to either make a CW fight against Lomachenko, or to see if he can move up to 160 and fight Canelo.

Fight vs. Spence is a good one, but a) Spence f'd it up by being a drunk, and b) Spence alone isn't enough.

If Crawford has fought Spence, Danny, and Thurman and beat them all....by now he would be a much bigger star than he currently is.

The fact of the matter is that the “top WW’s” in this day & age are afraid to fight tough competition. Too risky for them.
They rather play is safe and check instead of placing a bet.

Bottom line is they don’t have heart and are all biatches.

Floyd was an expert at using social media to raise his profile. Crawford and his team aren’t as savvy.

Crawford doesn’t have the quality of opposition Floyd had not the high profile Olympic robbery that gave Floyd notoriety.

If Crawford were to leave TR, just like Floyd, that would make fights with canelo and Spence more likely.

If he wins those fights he very well could become a star, although not as big as Floyd.

Floyd was just the right fighter in the right place at the right time.

[Combat Talk Radio]

Floyd did the work before he was 33 THEN he coasted. Crawford hasn’t done anything but coast and now he’s 33

To be fair, Crawford at least waited until he "beat the man that beat the man", meaning Jeff Horn, then he decided his HOF entry was a lock based on that win and didn't need to do anything else.

He is black, American, undefeated, now welterweight, he has, lets say elite skills.

Why is he not even close to Mayweather? What is his biggest problem?

Floyd Mayweather is one of the best fighters of our time. His skills and talent are far superior than the rest of this generation.

I know Floyd got a ton of haters, but we can't deny he grinds harder than anyone in the gym and camps and he's hardly ever out of shape. He abstains from drugs, alcohol and other things that harm your body.

Floyd in his younger days was a beast and as he went up in weight he became more safe and just out skilled his opponents.

But Floyd fought all the biggest names all around(ODLH, Gatti, Zab, SSM, Pacquiao yeah way too late but still has the name on his resume).

Bud on the other hand fought NO ONE. TR protects Bud like a kid who's never took off his training wheels.

Bud has ZERO charisma, charm swag. Floyd has all those things even you haters have to agree he made the whole HBO 24/7 watchable and interesting.

In fairness to Bud it is mostly TR/Arum preventing him from really blowing up but its his own fault for resigning with TR. He can't complain no one wants to fight him if he stays with TR.

What are you his woman lol? What is this even supposed to mean?

An athlete can't be black and a complete boxer without a Mayweather comparison?

Crawford is a fantastic fighter and one of my favorites. Let him be Crawford. Why aren't you like me? Why aren't I like him? Silly childish questions imo.

I sure hope you don't mean, why isn't he a draw like Floyd - no one will eclipse Fury until he retires. People hoping otherwise, for whatever reason, are going to be really disappointed. No one at WW will outshine him, crazy to expect otherwise.

floyd worked hard to sell his fights

Most fighters, not just Crawford, think like a caveman my fists do the talking to sell fights

Unless you Mexican you need to show your personality outside the ring to become a big star

yeah exactly bro Floyd's work ethic was unmatched!

u see how much he went into preparing for a fight and hyping a fight up he earned them BIG bags!

Crawford has ZERO gab and charm and personality. Like guys like that should literally hire a PR team or something cuz hes a total DUD!

He also just doesn't have the personality to market himself like Floyd did too. Love watching him inside the ring but he is very dull outside. It was so difficult watching him in the Rogan interview. Even Rogan himself. You could see him struggling in making Crawford make the conversation continuous and entertaining.

But better

Floyd fought the better versions of their common opponents most of the time
