Who on crawford's resume is better than brooke or you would favor over brooke? Brook gave spence hell till the later rounds and shows up almost 160 lbs shredded fight night.
It's still the best fighter he fought.
If he fights Sugar Ray Leonard, it will be the best fighter he fought, but still Leonard is over 60 years old.
Kell Brook's best days are way behind him.
No way, Benavidez was outboxed easily and received a gift against Herrera. Him boxing competitively with Crawford says more about how overrated Crawford really is.
The Brook that beat Porter wouldn't lose a round to Jose and say that as a fan of the Benavidez bros.
He didn’t get outboxed easily. I rewatched that fight recently and it was competitive all the way through (I’m talking about the Crawford fight here). Herrera also wasn’t a bad fighter, I’m not sure Benavidez’s fight with Herrera was much more of a gift as Danny Garcia’s, who I remember getting really beat up at points in that fight, much worse than the young Benavidez who moved down to 140 to fight Herrera.
Brook has created something with not fighting anyone inbetween the top fighters in Porter, Golovkin, Spence. Outside of those guy’s Benavidez is of higher level in Brooks resume. And I see how he walks into punches, especially vs longer fighter’s, even in his prime. Brook does not have great defense. And he’s always been flatfooted. I can’t think of much or anything that Brook does better than Crawford, maybe he can muscle Benavidez inside and tire him or get a bomb through to stop him, but besides that, I’ve never been so wrong to pick a loser in a one-sided fight, so I’m confident in a competitive fight at least in this mythical matchup. I do think Benavidez was a better fighter by the time the Crawford rolled in, despite the bum leg. More mature.
hes done, i can promise you if crawfords team didnt think brook was finished then they wouldnt be fighting him. brooks got a name but that doesnt elevate him above the rest of the slop that crawfords fought at welterweight, then again crawfords not exactly looked like a million dollars himself recently, got dropped by that bum in his last fight so maybe brook might put him on his arse too and the guy with one knee gave him some problems too from what i remember
Cmon bro its high level pro Boxing.
Most guys fighting at this level get knocked down once or twice but its what they do after the kd that counts.
What do you expect to see a guy never losing a round, never getting touched and said fighter to knock out all opponents.
Go bet your money on Brook then if you think he is good. You make tn doallars for ever dollar you bet IF Brook wins. Postol is better than Brook. Mean machine is better than Brook. Gamboa was better when he fought Crawford than Brook is now.
Mean machine better than Brook? Shut your dumb ass up
Always felt Benavidez is very underrated. I know he hasn’t done sht, but just his performance vs Crawford, how skilled he showed himself to be, no reason for me to believe he couldn;t apply that vs other opponents of that lvl. I think even one-legged Benavidez could’ve beaten a prime Brook.

Sad but true.
Brook however shouldn't be fighting at that weight. He's going to take another unnecessary L, like jumping two weight classes to fight GGG.
Its a good fight imo Brook is a bit past his best but fans are talking this up like its a huge mismatch simple too discredit Crawford.
I think it'd be a very solid win and easily his best anyway you want to cut it. Will it justify him being p4p #1? no but its a decent win.
Brook has seen better days but he is still a seriously tough fight for anyone at 147/154 until I see otherwise. Even with his reflexes and such diminishing I feel he still presents problems for anyone due to how fundamentally sound he is.
I appreciate it bro, but Brook has been training crazy for the past 7 months and he looks healthy and in shape, I'm not saying Brook is the favorite but I just don't see how Crawford walks through him, Brook knocked out his last opponent with a jab, and Crawford got dropped by a unknown in his last fight, just answer me this question my man, who has Crawford beat at 147? Brook beat Porter fairly easy, Spence went life and death with Porter, Thurman went life and death with Porter, I don't know who's going to win this fight, but I'll have a clearer idea after the weigh in
Kavaliauskas isn’t unknown man, he’s a solid fighter, I’d genuinely pick him to beat this version of Brook at 147. That DeLuca guy Brook beat was trash as well. Brook does have decent power but KO’ing a fighter like DeLuca proves nothing IMO.
I had Porter beating Brook tbh man, even the Sky commentary team had it 115-113 to Porter. I think you can make a fair case Brook won but it was far from easy.
I’d genuinely say that Jeff Horn, Amir Khan and Kavaliauskas are better opponents than Brook at 147. I just don’t believe Brook has any business fighting at 147.
Guess we’ll find out on the night anyway bro. We’ll have to agree to disagree for now.

I always respect your insight after you picked Ali to beat Cotto.
However, you’re way off on this one man. Brook isn’t that same fighter, especially at 147.
He can’t make the weight healthily, he hasn’t made the weight since 2017, and hasn’t had win at 147 since March 2016.
Look how badly he faded against Zerafa for example bro, this isn’t the same fighter anymore. That was only at 150 too, imagine what another 3 lbs will take out of him.

I agree 100%, Brook is going to give Crawford hell, Brook is the strongest, biggest, most powerful, fastest hands, and the best overrall boxer Crawford has fought, I've been following Brook closely and he is in top shape, if the judges are fair Brook will win, people say Brook fades late, he doesn't, Spence's style is different than Crawfords, Brook didn't fade in the Porter fight, he won 8-4 against a fighter who arguably beat Spence who's the best at 147, he was beating Spence prior to the stoppage

Postol is also very underrated. If only Danny hadn;t ducked him we’d see him in a better light, because I really think that would’ve been a 12-0 kind of fight. The guy is still giving the next generation a run for their money as an old man.
Both of these guy’s resume suck dick. But they seem like decent fighter’s that would give any top guy a serious run. I view Brook similarly. He beat Porter, but people went from underrating to overrating him, this is still the guy that could easily have an ‘L’ instead of a ‘D’ vs Julio Diaz.
He was half crippled when Crawford fought him though.
He was a talented fighter but that leg is f***ed.
