    Brook struggled to make 147 when he was active. Not happening now - Brook is semi-retired just waiting for a big payday to come up.

      Crawford is PAST-PRIME - yep I said it. He's 32 years old in a month and he won't be the same physically as he was at 28-29 years old. Mentally, boxing iq in the ring, sure he still has it, but you are not the same at 32 as you are at

      Spence at 28 can wait for Crawford to age another year or two.

        If he is serious about returning I would hope he stays active this time.

          Go big, or go home! Call Bob Arum! He should pay you at least $1M more than whatever he paid Amir Khan!

            Thurman came to a realization that boxing is way different from talking. He run his mouth before the fight and paid dearly for it.

            How about Horn in his next fight?

              Just like we have not seen Crawford tested enough at 147, to claim he's really one of the top WWs in the game, we have not seen enough at 147, to claim he's "past prime!" Thurman would be a great way to find out about both of them! Crawford vs. Thurman would be a good ice breaker for Arum and Haymon! They could also make a good co-main event, i.e. Gary Russell Jr. vs. Shakur Stevenson, or Benavidez vs. Zurdo Ramirez, and make it worth a PPV event!

                Keefe needs to get his mojo back. He should take on former door keeper now door mat Adrian Broner or crystal chin Amir Khan.

                  Just because you say it doesn't make it true. I'm the same age as Crawford and tbh I don't feel any different now than I did at 28 29.

                  32 is still prime in this era, especially if u haven't taken much punishment so he's still got another year or 2.

                  Btw Spence is 29 years old.

                      NO, if he can't beat Pac, he definitely cannot beat Spence or Crawford.
