Comments Thread For: Crawford vs. Brook ESPN Weigh-In Report From Las Vegas

[Chrismart]

Left to Right who is that?

Don't know left most or the 2nd from right...

Looks to me:

(don't know), AJ, Wilder, Fury, Chisora, Povetkin (don't know), Usyk

Dope avy and LMK !

Oh and Crawford via stoppage 9-12

Hey mate, I think it goes :

Pulev, AJ, Wilder, Fury, Whyte, Povetkin, Chisora, Usyk.

It's a pretty cool pic. It was the front cover of a boxing magazine over here a few weeks back.

they both looked in great shape but gotta say brook was shredded

Only way Brook wins this is if he imposes his naturally larger size, wears down Crawford, sucks up the multiple punches that will land all night and comes in hard in the championship rounds.

Very unlikely though!

meanwhile the fighter most known for ducking brook was a fellow uk fighter in khan and last i checked , an American in Spence made brook quit and another one is about to kick his ass tomorrow. Go figure.

I know Khan ducked Brook, i've never disputed that. It still doesn't change the fact Brook was ducked by the top Welters at the time.

Spence, and now Crawford, fought, and will fight, a badly drained and damaged Brook. Those wins mean absolutely nothing. But if you want to whoop and holler over those meaningless wins, be my guest. I'll just take it as having no standards.

Umm...my guy, Spence was already his mandatory when Brook took the GGG fight.

There was popular and respected American knocking on his door but instead Brook ran after GGG because of his obsession with Khan.

If Khan can take Canelo he can take GGG right? Smh!

It had nothing to do with Khan taking on Canelo. I've heard that lie one too many times now. Brook was just tired of not getting a big fight so he took it.

Brook offered Spence the fight before all that but was told he wasn't ready yet and took on Algeri instead. Spence and his team tried to lie about it, but it was conformed he refused the fight. Which was fair enough because he didn't have much experience. But it still wasn't the big fight he was after. Garcia, Khan, Manny, Thurman were the big fights at the time.

just found it interesting that in your run down of people you feel ducked brook, you left out the most obvious one in khan. And your story of brook supposedly being avoided and guys turning down 4 million dollar offers seems nowhere to be found. In regards to beating brook meaning absolutely nothing, Spence travelled to brooks home , brook was clearly ready as he put up a good fight but was eventually made to quit. To say it means “absolutely nothing” sounds like the words of someone who has never set foot in a boxing ring ever.

Khan was just one fighter out of a handful. Had that fight happened, Brook would still be in the same position as before with the others not willing to fight him.

PBC do like to keep quiet about offers they turn down. Haymon doesn't even show his face or make comments, so it's much easier to hide. But they did turn the fight down.

Spence did travel, but it still doesn't dispute the fact that Brook was badly drained at the weight after coming down from Middleweight. And that's not even including the eye injury Brook had sustained. If Spence was the one in Brook's position, do you think Americans and yourself would call it a legit win? Not in this life time or the next. Hell, you lot rip off wins when it's legit and prime. Just look at the Fury/Wilder debacle that's still raging on nearly a year after Fury won. It's extreme and deranged.

No one needs step foot into a ring to know when a fighter is drained and damaged. You just need not be ******. Sorry it's too much for you to get your head round.

seems like this entire conversation is too much for you intellectually, as you're all over the place and clearly in over your head. Just to clarify, I mentioned you saying that a hard fought victory for spence, was a win that meant "absolutely nothing" and your response to that was that you know when someone is weight drained. Irrelevant response as brook fought his heart out and was essentially on even terms with spence until the stoppage. So again, only someone who has never set foot in a ring would call a hard fought fight in another man's country for a world title A win that meant "absolutely nothing". Lastly, there is 0 record of any offer for 4 mil being sent by team brook to any pbc fighter, and your response to that is Haymon keeps this kind of information quiet. So how the hell did you find out when nobody else did? Sounds like you made it up, got called out on it, and now you're trying to cover up for your obvious lie. Clearly you're the ****** one if you thought you'd get away with making such comments without providing any proof other than your word, which obviously means "absolutely nothing". Checkmate sir.

It shows that Spence isn't that good doesn't it if he's having such a hard time with a fighter that badly damaged. None of this disputes any facts i put forward. It's not my fault you're desperate for Phony wins for your boys. But hey, i'm used to from all the years of such nonsense. He also lost the Porter fight in a close one but got the decision because they value him more at PBC. After all the talk of destroying him as well. Didn't turn out like they thought did it? Don't overate your fighters all the time then it won't happen.

Hearn made the offers and said Haymon won't get back to him. But Danny and Thurman did mention it in one of their interviews back then and said they had other plans. But it doesn't become big news if the other side don't come back with a proper reply or counter offer. So as i said, they keep things as quiet as possible to hide their continued ducking of many fighters. Like the offers to Charlo from both Canelo and Andrade that they kept quiet for ages until it was admitted if you want a recent ducking where they try to hide it. PBC are well known for this, but it seems to have passed you by.

It can't be check mate if you've already lost. So that's chess you're also clueless about. Try checkers instead, you don't need anywhere near the intellect you need for chess. Maybe you'll find you can manage that... After a bit of practice that is.

sooooo, you essentially wrote a novel to only say that you still have 0 proof to back your claims. Not an article, not a link of an interview, just the meaningless word of an angry little Brit who's never set foot in the ring, yet says pro boxers are not very good and have world title wins that mean nothing. OK. . You've clearly gone full ret@rd.

You're not very good when you don't win a single round on my card in the first half of the Brook fight when he was likely to have something in the tank until the drain showed in the second half.

You're not very good when you fight your first fresh fighter at your weight class as the big favourite to destroy and dominate only to look like a typical hype job by looking like shlt and losing the fight and getting a gift decision.

There supposedly wasn't any evidence for all the other PBC ducks either. Until they were all exposed. Loons even thought Wilder turning down the 100 Mill for the AJ fight was AJ ducking. But that's the kind of deranged delusion us Brits have to put up with.

Hope you enjoyed a prime Brook at his best weight and not drained last night getting exposed by another fighter who isn't a cherry picking hype job with an also absolute shlte and worthless resume. No, he's P4P the very best. He proved that by beating a prime Khan and fellow P4P Jeff Horn.

Mind how you go.
