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

    I wrote down back in 2017, when the fight happened, that Brook just can`t be a great win for Spence. GGG did a demolition job on Brook already.

Mean Machine didn't stop landing on Crawford until he gassed out in like round 8.
      Mean Machine been at 147 for awhile and wasn't coming down in weight and he is also not 34 years old who had Both Eye Sockets Damaged

      Bud is not unbeatable, he has his flaws too don't get me wrong they all do...however AT 147, Kell has ZERO CHANCE not even a Punchers Chance!

            We'll have to see, I would of probably favored Kell Brook before 2017, but with him not fighting at 147 in 3 years I definitely think he is gonna be the underdog here.

            I'm not gonna bash Crawford fighting Kell Brook, it is at least a step in the right direction for the fighters who he should be making voluntary fights with, not the Amir Khan's and Jose Benavidez's of the world. Brook has more of a chance on paper than they realistically did(and somehow Benavidez gave Crawford all types of trouble before he said his leg gave out in the middle of the fight).

              Sounds to me you have your mind made up that Kell Brook is still this Top Tier opponent at 147 even though he haven't fought at that weight in 3 Years so it is a waste if time

              Good Luck to Kell but Crawford is going to Pick Him apart and Punish Him and likely make him retire on his stool. I don't even give him a Punchers Chance! If I'm wrong then I will gladly give Kell all the Credit in the World and admit I was wrong but I just don't see that happening at this point in his career and most certain not at 147
              Don’t strawman. Brook is of the Garcia, Porter level. Against Crawford he may get smashed, but against those guy’s it’s suddenly closer to 50-50 fights. Spence, Thurman, Crawford and Pacquiao are the top 147lb’ers.

              This Brook bullsht just reminds me too much of the conversation leading up to Porter-Spence “Did you not see his last fight!?!?”.

                They're about the same size, and Brook actually weighed more than Spence at the weigh in for their fight.

                    What year was Brook-Porter again? And what did Brook do since then?

                    Having never done anything since Porter. If he loses vs Crawford and continues his career, will we be getting a “what has Brook done since Crawford?”

                      This right here. GGG destroyed and ruined Brook. Kell was no longer the same after that fight.
