How do you show that you're P4P #1 by beating a shot to ***** boxer? Such a ******ed argument.

It's amazing the hate certain boxers get on this site lol. He cleans up at LW same at LW moves up to WW wins a World title and is trying to get the best at the weight to fight him and still the hate just keeps on coming lol. He in my eyes has achieved a lot in his boxing career, what dizzy heights in boxing have any of you haters hit?

Crawford: I Showed Against Brook Why I'm Considered Number One Pound-For-Pound...

He must think it’s 2016...pre Spence-Brook.

[Fists_of_Fury]

He would think he's the GOAT if he beat a non washed up A class fighter and TBE if he beat a non washed up elite fighter I bet .

Crawford went out there and did what he was supposed to do. That was A awesome performance even tho Kell Brook isn't the same fighter he was when he fought Porter. I mean after the GGG fight it took something out him and then Spence took the remaining energy from Brook. With that said we've seen boxers have letdown performances against lesser comp. So big ups to Crawford but we'll see what's he's made of after he signs with PBC. Crawford still needs Spence and at the very least Pac or Porter.

There is no P4P number one.

We don't even no if Crawford is the best in his own division, let alone P4P.

Arum Blasts Terence Crawford On His Expiring Contract: “Do We Want To Keep Him?”

“The question is, ‘Do we want to keep him?’ I could build a house in Beverly Hills on the money I’ve lost on him in the last three fights,” said Bob Arum to THEAthleticBOX about Crawford...

“He’s got to promote like [Teofimo] Lopez does, Shakur [Stevenson] does. Like [Floyd] Mayweather did, [Manny] Pacquiao did. If he doesn’t, then who the f*** needs him?

“He may be the greatest fighter in the world, but hey, I ain’t going bankrupt promoting him,” said Arum to THEAthleticBOX on Crawford needing to start helping to market his fights...

If you saw Crawford and Brook’s interview by ESPN’s Max Kellerman last Friday, it was painful to watch. Crawford shut down almost immediately, saying he nothing more to say about the fight.

It left Kellerman in the tough position where he had to go into a monologue to prevent dead air time.

“I’m not doing an interview with you when you’re not a supporter of me,” said Crawford last Saturday night in letting the media know what his conditions are for him to give interviews.

I know there was talk of this maybe being Crawford's last fight with Top Rank. If so, he's better off ditching Arum right now and going to PBC if this is the kind of treatment he's going to get from his own promoter. Crawford's doing his job by winning these fights and is doing so sensationally, so what if he doesn't talk a lot of trash? This isn't even like the situation with Arum and Rigondeaux (not that that whole scenario was acceptable from Arum either,) Crawford's delivered nothing but exciting and skilful performances with no shortage of brutal knockouts, nobody can say he's a boring fighter. It's the fighter's job to fight and the promoter's job to promote. If he's not selling, the fault lies more with Arum than Crawford.

Spence beat Brook and they give him credit. Spence beats the guys who lost to Brook, Porter, and he get Credit.

Crawford beats Brook and he gets no Credit.

Brook was dehydrated vs Specen coming of a beating vs GGG at 160.

This stoppage is questionable with those who knew he was hurt but not totally out. Referees are jumping in to quickly, yes he was hurt but look the man never fully hit the canvas and after the so called knock down he only landed 4 of those punches. Crawford is great and did what he had to in securing a victory but against a shop warn veteran so yes good job but am I blown away with the conclusion; hell no! I just would like to see him in with a solid name welterweight like Danny Garcia, Spense, Porter, Lipinets, Ugas or Virgil Ortiz Jr.

Bruh stfu!

Brook didn't even have his hands up and eas in a crouched position with his head turned.

Aint no way Brook was gonna fight back. He would have possibly died if the ref didn't stop the fight he was completely defenseless.

Refs are supposed to stop the fight when the opponent is no longer fighting back, but Brook was worse because not only wasn't he fighting back but he didn't even try to bring his hands up to guard himself, but only that he is crouched down with his head and back turned.

Lol, what defaq did you do to your common sense man?

Brook is contemplating retirement now. When he fought GGG, he was very competitive but damaged his eye. Ok, so Brook thought, I fix the eye, I can still be competitive. Then he goes in with Spencer, fights very competitively, then the eye fails him again and Spence wears him down. So Brook thought, coming down in weight from the GGG fight, eye still needs to be addressed. Goes on to win 3 straight fights and builds his confidence back up in himself and the eye. Then he goes in with Bud, is very competing for a few rounds, even up 2 rounds to 1 on Bud, all the judges scorecards, and then just like that, Bud takes him out. No build up to a stoppage like when he was in with GGG & Spence, just a quick stoppage when he was seemingly winning the fight. That’s demoralizing, that’s what is making a Brook consider retirement. Bud finally broke him. That’s impressive, he left Brook doubting himself again or if he can even go on. But he can because Brook was in with Bud, a lessor fighter, he may win.

The eye fails him again?


Dude, the eye that got fixed held up, Spence broke the other eye.
