Does Crawford earn some respect if he fights Brook?

No....not a bit.

Horrible fight. Brook at 147 is the corpse right now. He spent last years fighting C level 154 guys for very good money.

Not at 147. Brook would be a walking corpse. At the very least, make it at a 150 CW.

Hell no, he’ll get respect if he fights and stops Thurman or if he fights Gary Russell! Thurman is as broken as Brook and Russel is a midget as for Thurman he lost had surgery and is unproven he doesnt deserve TC and neither does Brook, for me the only fights for TC were Manny Errol Porter, Manny went into hiding after names were dropped the other two have fights, I think TC was banking on Manny and got left with scraping the barrel.

horrible fight...

Errol Spence after beating up Brook coming from 160lbs and a stoppage loss/orbital break/layoff/surgery = amazing win omg, best 147lber Crawford beating brook coming from 154 = not worth nothing. Oh, and the other one. "Brook hasnt done anything in years". Like he'd done something before fighting Spence. Do people realise the Porter fight was about 4 years before Spence? Brook did fuk all except get his sht pushed in by Golovkin before Spence.

Brook isn’t as good as once was but still a solid fighter. He is still dangerous and the bigger man he could shock the world. Does he meet the credentials in your eyes as a worthy challenger? He meets the criteria for me as long as he can safely make the weight. I hear people saying Brook "got beat by a stripper" (Michael Zerafa) but the fight wasn't close on the cards (Brook won by UD 119-109, 118-110, and 117-111) Besides that he has scored two KO's so I think people are just repeating what they hear instead of actually breaking down the fight. Do I think that Brook is the same guy he was pre-GGG? No, however I think he represents a decent challenge as long as he can make weight safely.

whats your obsession with going up in weight? people in the same weight division dont even fight each other so maybe we can concentrate on that first? fighting guys who used to be good the floyd...nevermind What does this have to do with Floyd? I think I found a picture of you :lol1: from Imgflip Meme Generator

Hell no, he’ll get respect if he fights and stops Thurman or if he fights Gary Russell!Welterweight champion Crawford fighting featherweight champion Russell would be a disgrace on Crawford's part and a terrible mismatch. Russell thinks he earns a shot at Crawford because he cussed him out but boxing doesn't work that way. You earn a title shot by victories in the ring not by running your mouth. If Russell beats any welterweight in the top 10 world rankings then give him a shot at Crawford. Until then fuk the little bragger. Let him start defending his own featherweight title more than once a year.

I don't think he should get any respect at all for fighting Brook. He should get disrespect for another cherry pick. The Brook who beat Porter was a good welterweight champion but that boxer is history. Today's brook is just a shell of his prime self. By his own admission his has no business fighting at 147 and is very weight drained at that weight. He has not fought at that weight since he fought Spence years ago. GGG and Spence took a lot out of him. He seems to have lost his love of boxing and his will to fight. He has had no win over anybody good or any impressive performance since Spence knocked him out. he has looked lousy and done nothing to earn a title shot. he isn't that bad and he is a better fight for Crawford than Khan was but that is not saying much. Porter or Ugas would have been very good fights for Crawford. Instead he will probably KO Brook and it won't mean much or be a very good win.

Don't you consider Brook draining to 147 a huge disadvantage for Brook. He looks huge at the moment. He’s always looked huge though. I watched him fight Spence and Golovkin during the lockdown, and he was bigger than Spence and for a guy moving up, he didn’t look undersized against G either.

He’s not the same Brook, but he’s still talented, strong, and significantly bigger than Crawford (I didn’t think Brook would ever fight at 147 again)

Hell no, he’ll get respect if he fights and stops Thurman or if he fights Gary Russell!

Brook isn’t as good as once was but still a solid fighter. He is still dangerous and the bigger man he could shock the world. Does he meet the credentials in your eyes as a worthy challenger? are there any respectable welterweights in the pbc? ugas - fighting for worthless baby belt danny- turns $3 mil plus ppv keef - i think i might just sign the contract :sad: stuntman spence - why fight you when i can fight the easy pbc fights? booster porter - can't sell out a family diner but tells everyone to call al. crawford - 1 undisputed, 2 rings, 2 lineals, about to be 6-0-6kos above 140 as in all sports, skill recognize skill. pbc fighters know exactly who crawford is. Correction - Keef Flute Time Thurman asked for a $10 mil guarantee to fight Crawford. Yeah, that's not a duck.

Brook represent the type of opponent that Crawford and TR likes. Easy UK money, big enough name and the odds are for them. I hope if they take that fight Brook wins. Tired of Crawford crying about opponents but yet hides behind negotiations in overpricing his value.

Brooks last good win was Porter in 2014. What has brook done since then somebody please tell me? Besides getting his face broken by GGG and spence.

Brook is damaged goods. A win doesn't do much for crawford.

he's considered as top p4p fighter, so its about fighting names now and making big bucks, not necesseraly challenging himself, i guess, but anyway it would be a good name on his resume, just like Khan

Crawford’s resume makes me seriously yawn. Really awful tbh, given his place in boxing. It’s quite a mediocre resume he is building there. A true Top Rank produced resume. Brook adds nothing. Crawford hasn’t fought anyone worthy since Postol. Brook is slightly above that. Good B level fighter. At 33, TC should be pushing himself, going up in weights to find better challenges and bigger fights. He appears to be comfortable fighting guys who used to be good. whats your obsession with going up in weight? people in the same weight division dont even fight each other so maybe we can concentrate on that first? fighting guys who used to be good the floyd...nevermind

Nobody cares about Brook. Crawford must be starving for a legit fight. Fight even Russell. It'd be more exciting and would have more angles than faceless Brook. Let's do it!
