Comments Thread For: Crawford Would Rather Fight Pacquiao, Spence, Garcia, Thurman Before Brook

[davef]

I like Brook be interested in him getting one last shot I rate him as a solid fighter but realistically a win for Crawford over Brook will have about the same value as Tanks over Gamboa

I'd rather see him fight the best PBC has to offer until Spence is back but outside of them on the other side Brook is the best fight he can get right now

I have no interest in seeing Brook fight anyone at 147. Brook cannot make 147 comfortably end of story.

Considering he lost only to top guys like Golovkin and Spence, it is worth seeing him fighting Crawford. He still capable of showing a thrilling performance though i see him losing by decision or late stoppage...

That's the point, Porter is saying that no one is fighting right now so everyone should be equally rested when boxing resumes.

PBC fighter Andy Ruiz has fought on DAZN and PBC fighter Deontay Wilder has done a cross-promotional PPV so I'm not sure what you mean by "we know how that goes." On top of that Kenny Porter has told Steve Kim that they have been given the green light to try and make a deal.

PBC allowed Ruiz because they didn't think he was relevant, so it's laughable to try and use him as an example. And Wilder had NO choice, he wanted someone who he can work with to get rid of Joshua's grasp of the HW without having to fight Joshua himself. That's the only reason that he turned down 5 offers as a whole from Joshua, to cherrypick a Fury in wasn't ready - Cherrypick went wrong in the end.

So Porter or Thurman fighting Bud isn't going to be easy or simple, have just heard Thurman saying he would fight Bud, and that all we all want to hear. And not just say it but do it. Once all of these is over, i hope each team sits down and negotiate the fight.

So instead of all the crying some of you guys are doing like a bunch of hyenas in the first page, about how Bud is going to fight Brook, let's talk about how PBC top names were fighting no one when they can take that belt off Bud and keep it on their side of the "Streets".

Brook is ranked #8 by WBA and WBC at 154. He should challenge Charlo or Rosario in wide open 154 division. That makes much more sense for him.

Not wrong... Brook would be foolish to try to drain back down to 47 IMO, less he's just after a money grab. I wouldn't mind Bud vs Brook so much at 154 but really Arum should be making the efforts to work with Haymon for Porter or someone else in the PBC stable for Crawford. PBC basically has the top 10 at 147 sewn up outside of Crawford so it's either work with 'em or no dice for Bud. If Arum really won't bend Bud should probably either walk or move up, but as long as he's getting paid handsomely for fighting the likes of Edijius can't really blame the man for staying put.

Exactly! Brook should be at 154! Much rather see Brook fight Jermell Charlo, Erislandy Lara, or Jarrett Hurd!

[EDDIE SPERM]

Crawford's actual preference is reversed lmao Kell Brook, Thurman (bodyshot sensitive) DSG [cowardly @ times] Spence {fresh off a wreck} Pacquiao would humiliate Terence & Arum !
