    “I feel like Kell Brook is not the same fighter as before.

    He’s not the same fighter. Crawford would fight a shell of Kell Brook. In his last fight, [Brook] didn’t look good at all. I feel like, at 147, [Crawford] will get a broken Kell Brook that I already finished. But they can do the fight. If it happens in the United States, I feel like it still won’t do good on pay-per-view.”

    Golovkin had already ruined him and he still gave spence his hardest fight of his career so far so people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

    Everyone with a brain cell knows that Haymon is freezing out the WW division, and that Crawford has limited options for opponents. I like both guys but if Spence really wanted it now he would be phoning Haymon up every day demanding the fight.

    Spence just shot himself in the foot with his own gun by admitting he fought a damaged Brook, a damaged Brook who just so happens to be the only world class fighter he's fought his own size :lol:

    Reminds me of when Dre tried to discredit Manny's win over one of his opponents due to them being weight-drained whilst being completely oblivious to the fact he was simultaneously discrediting his own win over Chad (who he wanted the full credit for beating the best version of) with every word he spoke lol

    That Brook would probably beat Crawford's ass. This Brook was having trouble with a scrub last time out. Spence has a point. He's just pointing out that Crawford is fighting another turd.

    This is truly Pickem fight and if brook from the Spence fight shows ,he wins by mid to late tko.

    Best opponent TC would've ever stepped in the ring with, most dangerous by far too

    He was ruined before the Golovkin fight. His knife wound did just as much damage as his eye injuries

    I like Spence, but a pre-GGG Kell beats him that night. Kell's timing and counter punching were outstanding at his best. Brook was up 2 or 3 rounds after 6, but he faded in second half. Which is not surprising since he added mass for the GGG fight(his team documented his weight gain and training for the whole GGG camp and he got up to almost 180) and then came all the way back down to 147. He was spent. I've always thought Brook was way under rated in his prime.

    Bro, after 6 the absolute best you could give brook, (meaning giving him every benifit of every doubt) is 3/3..

    Was really 4/2 after 6 for Spence and Spence completely tore him up from that second on

    Respectfully disagree. I thought Kell was outboxing him through 6. He was countering Errol's lunging jab repeatedly and landing clean lead right hands.

    Pre-good boy'd Special K who was fully focused and had made the weight properly would paddle Spence's ass. It was a terrible idea to move up to 160 and fight a savage power punching beast like GGG, how terrible? So terrible that virtually all the top MWs at the time wanted no part of that GGG. They only started to get brave when they saw him look human against Special K and in his subsequent fights after that.

    This is a part of what is currently wrong with boxing and what keeps the best from fighting each other. A guy loses two fights to two of the best p4p fighters on the planet who both coincidentally break both his eye sockets and now hes a shell? Maybe he is, but only because he wasnt mentally strong enough to get his ass kicked and come back better and stronger. He's not physically worse for wear. If anything, when bones break they usually grow back stronger. It's not like his broken sockets made him slower or sapped skills from him. If he got back into the gym with the right mindset and got after it like a MF'r he would be a terror again for anyone at WW.

    GGG definitely
    took something from Kell, but he was still game. Spence took whatever that was left from Kell.

    Too bad Spence doesn't seem to have much interest in getting into the ring with Crawford. I never thought of him as a s**t talker but I am changing my opinion of him.

    U know why that is happening? Arum is the reason. By time Spence beat Porter, then the winner of Thurman vs Pac. He will be unified champ, and Crawford would have no choice but to fight for pennies. Like a 65/35 split. All due to Arum lying and running his mouth and disrespecting Haymon. Crawford needs to leave Arum ass!
