    If Crawford is all he’s made out to be then it should be a walk in the park for him. I think Kell is way too far past his prime and he’s completely weight drained at 147

    On the flip side, I’m not convinced Crawford is all he’s made out to be. His best wins are Postal, closely followed by Horn or Gamboa. Great fighters, no doubt, but Spence, GGG and Porter they are not. Brook clearly has the edge in experience and significantly, power, which could be the decider in this fight

    I’m going for the probably unpopular prediction that Brook KOs Crawford late in the fight after tiring Crawford out

    Brook is in for a pounding I think. That chin's been cracked and he's starting to look stale and past his sell by date.

    ... of course I said that about other fighters and was proven wrong, so who knows. Would be a nice boost for Brook if he ran Crawford close.

    Brook took a career altering injury and then surgery to his right eye socket fighting GGG.

    While I hope he can prove his physical as well as his mental ability against Crawford, I’m not counting on it. He will be winning on the cards when Crawford shuts him down. Crawford in 8

    At times I really dislike boxing. I get all the reasons why this fight could happen, still doesn't mean it should.

    Crawford needs to fight the best and Brook needs to retire.

    At this moment in time, I think Crawford will win. Brook is a live dog in this though.

    That’s interesting because it’s always been Brook that faded in fights. Throughout his career.

    Another stupid useless fight. Crawford should be trying to unify or at least fight someone in the top 10. Brooks is done. At this point in his career he does nothing to Crawford’s record. This is on par to a tune up.

    If Brook is in shape and sharp he will definitely give crawford a lot to think about.

    I see this fight being a bit of a stinker though with both liking to counter

    Crawford still feasting on over the hill brits?

    Crawford is a waste of time and space. Lives in a cage under Bob Arum's desk.

    Interesting. 95% think Crawford wins it so far. 100% if I ignore my vote

    Nobody think the size and power of Brook could pose a serious problem for Crawford?

    With his smashed face, dulled reflexes, and cutting to a weight he (probably) can't reliably make anymore? Hell no.

    Bud should have made the effort to talk with Shawn when he said that he was willing to sit down to discuss a fight. That was a terrible move by Crawford. He holding out to get Spence but Spence has absolutely no intentions of fighting him.

    Crawford may have skill but IDGAF what anyone says - he has the worst resume of all the p4p top 10 ranked guys.
