    Embarassing logic.. Brook was shot and his punch resistance is non existent.. Stop falling for the fraud/hype

    His top five, IMO:

    (not in any particular order)

    Both of the former Cuban amateur stars. (Félix Díaz and Yuriorkis Gamboa)
    Kavaliauskas
    Postol
    Burns

    Sixth is either shot Khan or shotter Brook.

    Not really, those guys are all respectable enough. But he does lack that big marquee win over a prime elite. Spence is the obvious choice for such a target, but... I'm honestly not sure that fight goes too well for Crawdaddy anymore. (I used to be fairly confident in him beating Puffy Nips but increasingly less so).

    Postol as he was the only one that stopped Bud hitting ‘kill’ mode

    Gamboa fought well but was undersized, Postol a tougher win

    It was Gamboa, until he beat Postol, and now Brook is up there - better than Gamboa, but he did go down in such a strange way I'd ask myself if his punch resistance is gone.

    He just doesn’t have that marquee name but he’s been fighting decent guys for awhile.

    why so much hate for the guy?

    On the contrary, I really like him. His resume is paltry though all things considered. After last night's win, he should've been screaming Spence's name. He wasn't doing that though.

    Apparently you don't follow boxing or you would know that Crawford has been calling out Spence for 2+ years. It was Spence who has said "the fight needs to marinate" and "Crawford is on the wrong side of the street." IF Spence and PBC thought they could beat Crawford they would make the fight. Tell Spence to make the bleeping fight

    Possibly Porter (Bud ducked that fight), Pac, and Spence.
