Spence praised for fighting Brook, Crawford trashed for considering it. Makes sense.

[ShaneMosleySr]

I guess this is because Kell Brook has won every fight in dominating fashion since he lost to Spence.

That must be why Crawford is getting criticized.

I’m also guessing that Spence is getting credit for beating a smaller fighter in Brook, while everyone recognizes that Crawford has an advantage in the fight because he’s way smaller than Brook.

Oh wait, being bigger is an advantage, isn’t it?

Hmmm... I don’t know..

Maybe it’s because Kell Brook has been knocking out middleweights in his last few fights.

No, wait, that’s a good thing...

Brook outperformed middleweights and undefeated prospects when he destroyed Rabchanka. That must be it.

Oh wait, that’s a good thing.

Maybe it’s because of that shutout win over Zerafa that looks so much worse now... oh no wait, Zerafa knocked out a former welterweight champion who has a win over Pacquiao since Brook fought him.

So that’s a good thing.

It must be the fact that he kicked Shawn Porter’s ass when Spence went life and death with Porter...

No that can’t be it.

OH I REMEMBER WHAT IT IS...

Crawford fights on ESPN, so the PBC fans think he’s a traitor for some reason. Because they feel like they own him and he belongs to them. And if he doesn’t sign with who they want him too, he’s evil.

That’s right, it’s a ****** fight over who has the cooler promoter.

F**k this message board in the face. Everyone here is an idiot.

Unlike Crawford, all the elite welters in 2017 were ducking Erroll Spence, Jr at the time; Including Porter, Thurman and Danny Garcia. He didn't have any other options but to cash in his mandatory lottery ticket for the IBF title against Kell Brook.

While on the other hand, Crawford really doesn't have to take this bullshit ass fight if he really doesn't want to. He has many other options like Thurman and Porter. Both guys have called him out and he has yet to respond to any of those call outs.

That's the difference right there. Spence would have taken a Keith Thurman fight any day over a Kell Brook fight. However, Crawford won't.

Then take your whiney, faggot ass elsewhere. Nobody is making you stay and cry around.

Brooks is damaged goods now tbh.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Porter is Crawford’s mandatory and won’t take 25%.

That’s DOA and shouldn’t even be discussed.

HE ALSO LOST TO KELL BROOK.

You’re also criticizing Crawford for not fighting Thurman, even though they’re under different promotional and network contracts.

Yet, Spence is excused, and even praised for not fighting Thurman, when they are under the same promoter and network.

Spence is even getting praised for fighting Thurman’s leftovers.

Do you see how biased you are yet?

was spence not brooks mando for his belt? & hearn adviced brook to drop the belt and avoid spence cos he was too fat at that point, that's what i remember about ti, could be wrong tho

No, you are absolutely right. Brook was considering relinquishing his IBF welterweight title but after the Golvokin fight he decided that he wanted to hold onto it for a just a little while longer to defend it against the mandatory challenger Erroll Spence, Jr.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Nah, I think I should stick around and push back against all this nonsense propaganda. If I’m here, boxing fans become smarter.

It’s my responsibility to the sport.

Then take your whiney, faggot ass elsewhere. Nobody is making you stay and cry around.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Is Spence not praised for fighting and beating Kell Brook?

Oh he is.

So who cares why the fight happened?

You guys are letting the facts of the matter get in the way of a Crawford fan trying to defend his guy.


It's just a good narrative to try and equate Spence and Crawford fighting Brook.

But we dare not do the same thing with Danny Swift sparking prime Khan's chin inside 4 and Crawford low-blowing a damn-near-killed version of Khan after 9 rounds, now do we?
