Comments Thread For: Crawford: Brook Was Around Same As Khan; Mean Machine, Benavidez Were Better

[landotter]

Who with PBC is a top WW???
Thurman- NO
Garcia- NO
Porter- NO
Spence-Maybe

You're late for class at Trump University...

So... basically no one is a top 147 fighter?? Like at all? What in the Bloody Cheeseballs are you typing? Everyone name you listed is a serious fighter who would be a fringe top 10 WW in any era, and those names easily make up the best out there right now. They ALL are better than any name Crawford has on his resume.

Sometimes it physically hurts me to read some of these comments. I cannot be alone.

He fought and stopped in the 12th round a one-legged Benavidez. Had the latter been in normal physical condition, the story would have been different.

My point is PBC WW's will never fight outside PBC.... They'll never face TC, Vergil Ortiz, Boots Ennis or even Jose Ramirez when he arrives at WW.... This WW talent outside of PBC is far, far, far, better than PBC fake resume WW's.... PBC keep recycling....

Crawford and Spence have the same best win at WW. Brook. Crawford stopped him in 4. It took Spence 11.

Please don't bring up Shawn Porter. Kell Brook exposed him as a limited brawler years ago already.

I don’t care too much about Spence but that was 3 years apart.

Hatton dispatched of Jose Luis Castillo in 4 rounds. Mayweather never did. Nobody cares about Hatton’s win over JLC. Mayweather’s 12 round rematch is seen as a good win. That is what happens when you fight someone beyond their best, no one will care.

Mayweather cared about Hatton's win over JLC. That's what got him the fight.

In response to the headline quote: Why fight them then? wtf?

Mayweather has wanted Hatton since he beat Tszyu. Mayweather called out Tszyu in 2005 after the Bruseles fight. He couldn’t get him, Hatton did. Mayweather then eye’d Hatton and got him 2 years later after leaving Arum. He couldn’t get the fight under Arum because Arum is a cheapskate. Same reason why DLH didn’t fight him in 2005 when Mayweather called him out. Mosley just straight up ducked him.
