Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Motivated To Do a 'Calzaghe-Lacy' Job on Crawford

[super-x]

I agree but giving Brook no chance as some have could come back to bite them.

I always been a massive brook fan but Im also one that says Brook has zero chance of winning unless its stopped on a cut or something caused by a punch from Brook. At best Kell will look decent first 3 rounds... maybe 4 at a push... after that Crawford will take over and take him apart and stop him. It would be a massive W for brook if he manages the hear the last bell... i doubt it tho... spence broke him down 3.5 years ago and i personally thought it was the weight drain that caused him to fade so badly in the 2nd half of that fight... and now attempting to make that weight again and without his long time trainer...

It bothers me that some folks are diminishing Joe Calzaghe's place as a great fighter by referencing his outstanding performance against Jeff Lacy who was overated. Joe's body of work proves his greatness and one shouldn't discount his victory over Bernard Hopkins. Yes, I was a fan of Calzaghe and I'm an American as well.

Hopkins was robbed its punches that score not wrist slaps

Hopkins made him look amateurish

Calzaghes best and only relevant win is a prime kessler and is he really that great to begin with

I like this guy - always have, he’s very ambitious & brave, loved the way he neutralized Porter, but right about now, he’d probably stand a better chance against Thurman.

Lacy was a one dimensional hook oriented come forward plodder that was feeling himself way too much - he had what it takes to demolish 4 rude drunk guys at a bar.......but, Crawford, GGG & Spence don’t rely on stereotypical tough guy routines, they come with a plan, strategy & ability to adapt.

I knew Lacys reign was over when I heard he was facing Calzaghe. Calzaghe tore that boy up! Sorry to say, Brook is nuts if he thinks anything remotely similar is going to happen against Bud. If he does I’ll eat my hat with butter and mayonnaise.....

The best Calzaghe-Lacy tribute act was Fury-Wilder II. American power puncher gets massive hype for knockouts, gets not just outboxed but beatdown in one-sided fashion by skilful, awkward Brit.

Brook should look to the Raggamuffin Man for inspiration, nobody saw him beating Curry who was a welterweight champ high on P4P lists

Brook will try to perform some rough hose on Bud...

is jermain taylor a great fighter too? he beat hopkins as well and a lot clearer than calzaghe who really didnt land anything clean and ran into clean shots for most of the fight. should have been a loss but i understand money had to be made on promoting calzaghe since hbo was hyped on him or maybe the judges just suck doenst really matter. his body of work is pretty thin. leonards body of work proved he was great and he did most of it in like a 3 year span. ill take that over 15 years of bum fights and 2 good fights at the end

BROOK sipping on A-Mere-Con's juicy juice.
