    Man Crawford is all wrong for Manny hate to see this fight. Manny will never turn down a fight this guy is an absolute animal but how can he win at this stage of his career?

    As a big fan of Manny you almost gotta accept that this dude is warrior and he won’t go on to live a healthy life after his career; he will fight until the brakes fall off. Absolute legend.

    Be interesting to see what would happen if Crawford fought a B fighter who had a reach advantage on him for once in his life, especially one with a good jab and a punch and was in their prime. I doubt we'll ever see that come to pass though

    Yeah he basically succeeded Shawn Porter style against an older Brook. Fair play. Crawford did what he had to do to win and didn;t really look bad at all. He's got a mean streak and pounced at the right time.

    Crawford is in a tough situation. WW looked stacked a few years ago but things have changed. if Crawford beats:

    - Manny - no credit because pac is old and way past prime
    - Spence - no credit because he hasn’t recovered since the accident and will never be the same.
    - Porter - no credit because he already lost to Thurman and Spence.
    - Thurman - no credit because he’s never been the same since the shoulder surgery and already lost to Manny.
    - Danny Garcia - no credit because he was overrated and will probably lose to Spence so he’s overrated.

    Who does Crawford have to beat to get credit as the top fighter in boxing? It’s his own fault for not getting the big fights when they were available but that’s history. Which top level boxer is out there for Crawford to fight to solidify his spot on top? Tonight’s fight was a solid legit win. Spence needs to fight Crawford after his next fight. Garcia has almost no shot against Spence.

    That's all that's left for either of them now but who would buy that?

    Those two would believe it is a PPV event because the pair of them are rather delusional.


    So for that reason I don't think it ever happens, they have missed that opportunity to rob British fight fans.

    You haters in here crack me up. You know damn well if Bud fights anyone not named Spence if someone is putting a gun to your head and asking you to pick a winner you know who you’re picking. Don’t even try to BS me. Hell you probably take him over Spence too if they put a gun to your mother. That’s the only fight that would give you pause, no matter how much you stick your chest out on here.

    It is now officially time, if it wasn't already, for Kell Brook to either retire now, or else take one last fight against Amir Khan (providing there is still a UK audience for it), and THEN retire.

    Crawford is not the best finisher in the sport. The only people that say he is are those that have never seen an Inoue or Beterbiev fight.

    It wasnt a huge punch true it was just well timed. Its mostly the shots you dont see coming that hurt you. For sure brook is not the same but everybody knew that after the beatings he took. but every great fighter has one good performance in him thats why i gave him a chance if he just landed first

    If that was the way he was going to go then he should have done it a while ago, now I fear it may be too late. The timing and conditioning look great but the punch resistance is bad and it probably just got worse.

    He has to fight and beat all of them. Then he gets credit!

    So Usyk or Crawford as p4p #1?

    I'd pick Crawford after both of their last fights.

    No excuses. Bud has power, good KO.

    Good stoppage. It was a great fight while it lasted.

    Brook needs to get out of 147 or rethink hes career.
