Does Crawford earn some respect if he fights Brook?

[BLASTER1]

From me absolutely.

I'm also not some mong who considers a guy damaged goods for a loss or two.

This is a great fight imo.

Don't you consider Brook draining to 147 a huge disadvantage for Brook.
He looks huge at the moment.

Not Really because Kell is Past It and haven't had a Quality Win in 6 YEARS which was the Shawn Porter fight back in 2014

After that most people talk about his 2 Loses to GGG and Spence Jr and try to give him Moral Victories for Doing well vs both of them early in those fights before he was eventually stopped

That is not to discredit Crawford in anyway! If Kell the best he can do right now then so be it BUT lets be honest about what this is! Then draining him down to 147 again this late in his career only makes things worse!

Yeah of course, it'd be Crawfords best opponent by far.

I actually haven't seen him lately. Figured he was still shredded like in the Porter fight these days. Dude always had a great physique. Enough to make New England jelly.

Brook will give him trouble, Crawford good but overrated.

This isn’t the same Brook that fought Spence either, people are reaching with Crawford. Any tough guy with skills gives him absolute hell.

Porter, Garcia, Thurman, and Brook can all beat Crawford.

[4truth]

Brook, if he could make weight in good condition, probably beats Crawford. So yeah, I’d give him all the credit in the world if he proved me wrong.

[ironmike2012]

No, but he could lose anyway.
It is not the worst opponent, better than any of recent ones, that's for sure.
A step in the right direction, I guess, but he better fight Porter/Spence/Garcia next, no more bs fights.

Brook is a quality stay busy fight, but that’s the only kind of fights Crawford gets or takes. When you consider the gap between talent and accomplishments Crawford has been one of the biggest disappointments in the last decade.

[Richard G]

Can't believe that this fight is on, Brook is a 154 these days and at this time of his career dropping to 147 indicates that winning is not the priority. Then we have his record, the male stripper showed how ordinary he was plus he ducked Horn, some people laugh at Australian boxing well these sorts of fake fights are beyond hilarious, more so that they are taken seriously. A simple money grab supported by simple fans.

[JakeTheBoxer]

If Crawford really believes he beats him, he should fight him at 154. 147 version is drained these days. Brook is not a welterweight any more. His last fight at 147 was Spence.
