Looks/Image most definitely matters as far as marketability is concerned.Literally one of the first things Bob Arum said in regards to a possible Manny vs Jeff Horn fight was that Jeff is a "Great looking kid that speaks well".Having the right kind of look may not be the most important factor in regards of being marketable but it's important. The three NBA players you named are three of the greatest basketball players of all time and all have engaging personalities.Crawford isn't an all time great (yet) and his personality is lacking.They may not be the best looking but they make up for it in other ways.Also ,Boxing is a niche sport with a small fan base when compared to the NBA.Not really an apples to apples comparison .:yeshrug:

that's exactly my point. the original poster said it was because he was ugly.

It reminds me of Peterson looking :merchant: when talking bout Matthysse

How you as a trainer gonna be like "look danny we can't do shyt but land a counter right sooooooo land that breh :ld:"

I hope we get some Jacobs interviews soon so we can see for ourselves if Jacobs look shook or nah
Bruh for real. I ain't saying be like Algieri's trainer and say he was im control right before getting KTFO by Pacman but that shyt has to take a hit on a fighter when your own coach probably put money against you in the betting booth.

If past it Ouma can back up GGG for a bit, than Jacobs could too, but well see. :manny:

Months ago I said that Jacobs best bet is to just jump on him early like he did Quillin and try to bang him outta there. He has the size and power to make that work. With that said, he should still train for a 12 round fight just in case that strategy doesn't work.

:heh: at the whole Manny B level tour. More like C level. Pac out here trying to fight instruments and shyt now.

Lara's Manager: Everyone is Avoiding Golovkin? We're Ready!

By Reynaldo "El Papi Chulo" Sanchez

Luis DeCubas Jr., manager of IBO and WBA super welterweight world champion Erislandy Lara 23-2-2 (13 KO's), believes the fight with Yuri Foreman - scheduled for January 13 at Hialeah Park Racing & Casino, Hialeah, Florida - is a good way to keep the Cuban active while they wait for better challenges in 2017.

"Erislandy has faced the best and keeps his status as an elite boxer as super welterweight. Lara, in my opinion, defeated Canelo Alvarez despite what the judges said that night. At the moment, he is undoubtedly one of the best in his weight class, and we took this fight against Foreman to keep Lara active," said DeCubas Jr.

Lara’s team has tried to face the best fighters within their reach, but they have not been able to secure any agreement at the moment. Lara, despite the criticism, is still one of the best super welterweight.

"We are in the best position, but now we are focused on Yuri Foreman who is a former world champion and gave Miguel Cotto a great fight. Later we will see what happens. We want to make a fight with undefeated Demetrius Andrade or a unification fight and maybe a mega-fight against Golovkin at middleweight," said DeCubas Jr.

Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs) is scheduled to make a mandatory defense of middleweight titles on March 18th against Daniel Jacobs at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Lara's manager says they are ready to make that fight.

"People think everyone is avoiding Golovkin. They say no one wants to fight Gennady, but we are ready to make that fight. Lara has the perfect style to make a great fight and defeat Golovkin at middleweight," DeCubas said.

"Erislandy Lara has proven to be one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. He has faced the best and he's beaten them, including 'Canelo' Alvarez and we all saw it. If the money is right, we would love to do a mega-fight against the best middleweight in the world as Genaddy Golovkin."

Now, it's time for the usual Lara calling out other fighters before his own fight tactic:russell:
