    Spence wants Brook: "cherrypick". Crawford wants Brook: "good fight!" Seems legit

    More hypocrisy on the daily.

    So let's put this in perspective.

    Crawford refuses Danny Garcia's price and instead gives it to Amir Khan.

    A version of Khan that was damn near killed by Carnelo, low blows him, and NSB says it's a good win. Despite Danny 'Swift' sparking a fresher version of prime Khan in less rounds years prior.

    Crawford verbally DUCKS Shawn Porter on DAZN's stream. NSB says Crawford wants Spence instead (despite not having earned it) regardless of Spence being fresh out of a debilitating car crash.

    Now, allegedly, Crawford wants to fight either McGregor(!) or Kell Brook. Despite Danny being the mandatory and Vergil Ortiz Jr. being right behind him.


    So, instead of fighting a top PBC guy who was THE guy at 140 before Crawford was, and instead of fighting Vergil Ortiz Jr. who is the current 'eye test' - both of whom would at least be entertaining if nothing else - and instead of fighting another top PBC guy who almost beat Spence...

    Terence 'Bud' Crawford wants to fight Spence's leftovers, the guy that has damaged eye sockets from both Spence and Golovkin - or Mayweather's leftovers who has an 0-1 record.

    And you guys are ok with this?

    Yes, it's a name. But I thought this is your #1 P4P? Why isn't he taking on a challenge?

    Lots of revisionism when it comes to the Brook Spence fight. It was considered close to a 50/50 matchup even after Brook lost to GGG. Brook was still the welterweight champion and Spence beat him, so he deserves credit.

    Bud fanboys try to discredit everyone else's resume despite them having having better wins than bud. Brook hasn't had a good win in 6 years and bud fanboys are going to act like it's a meaningful fight

      I think most of us know it's not a great fight but given the whole "we don't work with them" thing, along with dismissing everyone with too many consonants in their names as a Eurobum and this is what you're left with.

      Sad state of boxing today.

          Yeah Brook Spence was considered a great fight. That’s revisionism.

            It is now, but it wasn't back then.

            AFTER the fight, people on here called it a cherrypick, Brook was damaged, Spence went after the easy belt, etc.

              my all time fave though was the porter situation....the crawford fans/pbc haters were out in full force trying to bury all the pbc guys..."they all ducking crawford they wont mention him blah blah"....so crawford and arum are talking about porter leading up to the mean machine fight...then they mention him right after it....bout a week later kenny p says they can call the porters and they can make a fight...arum and crawford completely retract their stance and everybody is excusing it...

                  arum didnt think theyd ever get the ok from al to talka bout a fight...so they ran their mouths to perpetuate the myth that no pbc guys want to fight crawford...then kenny spoke up and they did a complete 180...and the fans excused it by saying "he only wants belts/spence"....it was kind of pathetic tbh

                    crawford is a great talent but he's nowhere near #1 pound for pound. beating even this version of Brook would be his best win
