Comments Thread For: Spence's Trainer: Brook Would Be Best Opponent Crawford Has Ever Fought

[tokon]

Yup. Brook 2014 would have been Crawfords best opponent, but thats a mythical match-up. Brook 2021 gets beat by everyone in the top 10 at 147, even Mikey.

I see no lies here.

TRANSLATION of what Derrick James is saying=>
I don't want Errol to fight Bud.
...I really don't want Errol to fight Bud.
......Nobody wants to fight Bud.

Bud, why do you want to fight Errol?
Bud, why don't you fight somebody else?
Bud, fight this English guy here...Kell Brook.

Derrick James is one of those trainers that have a casuals understanding of who is who in the sport of boxing. Kell is one of the most overrated welters of all time.

Ricky Burns has never got any credit, the 'Rickster' is a much more accomplished fighter than Kells Brook.

And Adrien Broner is one of the top five most accomplished active fighters.

The devil is in the details isn't it?

Brook is a very good technical fighter, and he is strong as an OX too. To think that this guy was physically manhandling Spence, one of the strongest, if not the currently strongest fighter at welterweight.

Brook's obsession with Khan is what derailed his career. He started ducking credible opponents at Welter because he didn't want to potentially lose his belt because if he lost it he would lose whatever leverage he thought he had over Khan.

And then when he heard that Khan was fighting Canelo, he literally called out GGG the first chance he got after hearing those news.

Seriously, why didn't Eddy Hearn get an intervention for this Khan obsession junkie?

It's interesting see how one fight with gg g is reputed to have ruined brook?

Just Stop!...We all know alot of these PBC Fighters was Avoiding Crawford in the Welterweight Division....All those that had Belts wouldn't fight Crawford until they lost Their Belts to their Stablemates....keeping the Belts over on the PBC Side....
Crawford is trying to Unify the Division...he wants Pacquaio or Spence....

If you read the post, you would realize i'm talking about 140, not 147. He did fight 2 PBC fighters at 140 (Molina & Diaz), and he fought them on HBO. PBC does "cross the street," but Arum has not sent his fighters to fight on PBC cards, unless it's a co-promotion, i.e. May vs. Pac, Wilder vs. Fury.

All of this seems very familiar. Arum and Crawford have floated ideas about fighting Brook, Porter and Pacquiao but will, no doubt, settle for some fringe contender no one has ever heard of and claim everyone is ducking.

Ugas has expressed interest in fighting Crawford. For ****'s sake, fight someone with a pulse!

Terrance KO's Lamont today or 5,6,7,8 years ago...Lamont did get robbed of victory vs cherry picker Danny G...

Lamont kind of did get robbed but he played himself switching style mid fight or so

this right here ............ Arum has been doing this since the Pac days. possibly earlier. from what i can remember.

I don't even get why some people don't want this fight.
Would you rather see Crawford rematch Khan, Kavaliauskas, Lundy, etc.?
We all know Crawford vs a PBC fighter will not happen anytime soon.

Or would you rather see him inactive for 2+ years and wait for the
Spence fight, the negotiation of which is expected to very difficult
and could last months?
