they wanted josesito lopez for crawford before brook

[champion4ever]

TC is pissing his prime away with these type of fights and that window is closing very quickly. He'll turn 33 in just a matter of a few weeks. So it's time for him to step up and do his thing at welterweight soon.

Same here. Can Kell beat Lopez at 147?

Hmmm? What does that mean? Lopez and Brook arent fighting. You lost me on that one....

I'm asking is Kell better than Brook at this point? Knowing he hasn't fought at welterweight in three years. If Kell and Lopez fought today who would win? Is there really that big of a difference between the two?

Gotcha. Kell and Brook are the same person. I underatand what you were trying to say.
Josesito Lopez has fought some real hardcore fights, Canelos, V. Ortiz, Keith Thurman, etc.. He rises to the occasion every time, win or lose. I feel like Kell doesnt have the heart that Lopez does, however he did move up to MW and fought 3G and broke his orbital bone, healed then went back to 147 to defend his IBF Welterweight title he lifted of Shawn Porter, thats when Errol Spence broke the other orbital bone.
Kell isnt well suited to fight at 147 really, needs to stay at 54 imo. Thats why id say Lopez wins in a dog fight.

Lopez???? That is it for me. Crawford has turned me from a big fan of his to someone who thinks he is a poor cherry picking champ and Arum probably deserves some of the blame. i don't like Brook as a title challenger either but 1.5 million seems like a lowball offer considering what Crawford would make. I am sure Spence's opponents all get paid a lot more than that. Spence acts like the real welterweight champ fighting other champs or top 5 contenders while Crawford fights washed up fighters like Khan and now probably Brook or guys that never were any good. Crawford was a great champion at 140 but a really lousy champ at welterweight.

The sad part is that Lopez would be a top 5 win for Bud ...

I really doubt it took precedence over Brook. It’s called a fallback plan.

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Since it's at 147, Brook is going to be drained.

Brook is gunna lose half of that 1.5 mil to taxes. He is left with around 700k+. He has to pay his team too, his manager, the surgery for eye/eyes, etc.

He is getting paid 100K to get ragdoll'ed

I like Crawford-Lomachenko better than Brook, Thurman, or Lopez. Loma's untested skills would be tested to the limit here. More exciting. I don't think Loma has the balls, tho, despite being a big lightweight.

Even Russell would be cooler with me before those other guys.

Geez not only are you a sad little man your also an idiot.
My condolences

Who else is there for Crawford?
PBC top dogs want no part of the guy.
