    POLL: What would Brook's performance mean to YOU?

    It's highly likely Brook loses.

    But if Crawford's on the outs with Arum we know what that often means.

    Then there's Crawford's cough - I know you guys say it means nothing, but we just don't know.

    There's Crawford's wrestling, shades of Jerry Quarry.

    To YOU, what would it mean if Brook overcame the odds?

    That 3rd option isn't out of question though. We've seen Arum trying to or actually setting up or robbing fighters that tried to break free from him when their contracts ran out. From Dela Hoya to Mayweather to Cotto to Pacquiao and more. Crawford's contract is about to run out and he probably wants the big fights against the PBC fighters.

        That he is not shot like some people think.

        The only fights he’s lost to are GGG and Spence. He had no business up at 160 fighting GGG and really shouldn’t have dropped to weight classes to take the spence fight straight after.

        If he had been losing fight to average fighters since then, We can say he is shot but he’s been winning fights.

        This is probably the first time since the porter fight that he’s been at a good weight a long time before the fight too.

        I’ve always thought Brook is a real talent but lacks dedication and motivation. He seems to have both for this fight

            We all know this isn’t prime Brook even if he pulls off the upset.

            If brook wins it will show we have been giving the eye test more credit than actual substance, which is all you can do when our champs choose not to fight each other...

              Two good fighters, somebody is going to lose. Can’t comment on what it means really, till we see it play out.

                  I voted the first option although I don’t have a problem with folks calling Crawford number 1 P4P atm. I don’t call him that but whatever.

                  It does bother me a little when people say Crawford is the best at 147 doe. He might be, but he hasn’t beaten anyone at 47 to show me that.

                  If Kell wins, which I doubt, I would say Dud wasn’t proven at 147.

                    Bit of both

                    He shouldn’t have fought Golovkin, and from that, shouldn’t have lost to Spence

                    Brook has the most convincing win over Porter, showing a level of pedigree.

                    The eye issue is real though. But if that doesn’t become a factor the fight becomes interesting
