Comments Thread For: Kell Brook To Crawford, Thurman: I Can Be Ready For October, November

[UNBANNED]

Yes, that would certainly be a better fight than either of them against brook.
However, as neither a proven big ppv attraction, it doesn't seem likely that there would be enough $$$ in the pot to satisfy "No Pay Cut Crawford" and "It's All About The Retirement Money Thurman".

Am hoping either guy adopts your nicknames. They are spot on XD

Kell Brook can beat Keith Thurman NOW 'Even at 147'.

If Eddie Hearn is smart? That is the fight he makes for Kell Brook 'I think Brook stops Thurman, and sends him home into retirement with his woman'.

I'm not sure about that, but I agree, Hearn should get Thurman to come to the UK, instead of sending Brook to the states to get punished by Terence Crawford!

If he wants the big fights he should stay ready 24/7/365. He has not had a good win since Spence KOed him but he might get a big fight off of being a name everybody knows. brook is realy yesterday's news. Still he might beat Thurman if making 147 doesn't drain him too much.

I think they should make the fight at 154, Thurman probably wants to move up a weight also.

I don't think Kell Brook is shot 'It is just the difficulty in making 147'.

He 100% beats Keith Thurman at 154 pounds.

Note: If Brook gained a belt at 154, I think Crawford would face him there. Ideally that is how he should go about the Crawford fight.

I'll be honest, I've been a fan of Kell since he turned pro. But he's one loss away or even one unconvincing win away from retirement in my eyes. Obviously any further facial injuries warrants retirement too, so I just don't get why he insists on killing himself to make weight. He's nothing to prove at 147. His body has simply grown from being 18, it's madness at any level let alone World.

You're spot on there, I think he's tried to stay around the weight for a bumper uk pay day against Khan otherwise would have closed the door at welter ...as he should.

Totally agree! It's been so many years since he did it, I don't think it's healthy! I don't think Spence will be at 147 by Winter 2021! He's just as big as Brook!

If it wasn't for ingle, with the training camps in canaries away from UKAD, and his "nasal spray" chemicals, brook would have been at 154 years ago!

[LAchargers373]

Brook would beat both and tbh they both know it that’s why the fight hasn’t been made. All that talk from arum about brook Porter blah blah blah Crawford out here picking on the 3rd best 140lbr in Ramirez ****s a joke. 🗑

Brook at 147 is just so obviously a retirement fund payday, it may have been a bit different if he had kept fighting non bums over the last few years but sitting around instead and then expecting to be paid big bucks to get off his arse? C'mon.

[PunchyPotorff]

Either would be good fights for Brook... IF he can comfortably make weight. If not, he needs to go up to 154 and stay there. We have seen Brook basically have too much belief in himself and not enough respect for his limitations. All fighters have them, no matter if they'll acknowledge them or not. Even though he was a handful for GGG until the orbital bone damage, he really shouldn't have taken that fight. MW just isn't his strength. He was okay during Spence until the 2nd orbital bone injury, or he'd have won on points.

I think if Brook can in fact be strong and not drained at 147, either Bud or Keef would be excellent fights. Keef would be the easier of the two, but he could conceivably give Bud as much as he could handle. All 3 are getting up in years, so time is of the essence.
