      No, Brook is done at elite level, Khan is the only good fight left for him.

        Brook would be bigger and have the experience of fighting good strong welterweights that he's held his own against. However, stylistically I think this favors Crawford. Brook isn't an aggressive attacking fighter, which hurts him against Crawford. Brook will try to box with Crawford because that's what he does, which will allow Crawford to use his speed and skills to his advantage.

        I feel Brook is one of the better welterweights, but styles make fights and it's not in Brook to force the issue for 3 minutes straight in a 12 round fight. Crawford would have a harder time with a Shawn Porteresq type welterweight IMO.

          Would be a stiff test for Crawford. Brook is largely dismissed now but when we think about who he lost to (a MW champ and a potential future great) it doesn't take away from how good he actually is. I'd still take Bud to beat him but I think there are better way to lead into a Thurman fight.

          Danny Garcia would be a good one, if he's still fighting.

            Brook has lost two in a roll. How is that a quality fight for someone that's so called top 5 P4P?

              Good fight, but i feel Bud would be too much for a Brook coming right back down to 147 to struggle!

              Brook literally had early water diet and starved himself very early in camp to make 147 for Spence!

              Crawford by TKO 12th round!

                Horrible idea. Brook shouldn't be near 147 again and actually deserves a lesser/tune up fight at 154 next.

                    I think Crawford should fight Rios as his debut at WW.



                    And who knows if Rios puts down the tacos it could be a fun fight.
