    I think he has a chance of ruling the division if he becomes accustomed to the weight. Jumping in there with Spence and trying to outmuscle him, and leaving himself open for some bombs would be a bad idea. Test his chin there, know when to defend, when to attack. He'll be fine and take over once he's a true 147lb fighter.

    I think he beats DG by wide UD 120-108
    I think he beats Porter by wide UD 118-110
    2 years I think he beats Spence & Thurman in close contests.

    What promoter is going to take the risk against the switch hitting counter puncher?

    Crawford rehydrates to 158 from 140. He ain't small.

    Nah, it was even at the time of the knockout.

    Both are very good fighters, Brook wasn't dominating.

    As I see it Crawford has a decent chance against anyone at 147, I'll pick him against everyone but Thurman and Spence.

    He's small compared to Thurman, Spence, Brook who can fight at 160 if they wish.

    Let's not pretend that the eye wasn't an issue. It was impossible for Brook to win that fight with the eye injury, the fight was even up until then. I know I'm a huge Brook fan but Spence isn't a level above him or anything, he was just the better guy on the night.

    A titanium-skulled Brook is 50/50 with Spence IMO, I don't know if you disagree. I would LOVE to see them rematch at 154 provided Brook has no further facial injuries. I think that's a great fight once again, IMO Brook vs Spence was one of the highest boxing levels fought in 2017. Higher than GGG/Canelo.

    Sure I wouldn't mind seeing it again it was a good scrap but Spence is getting better and brook is declining. I don't see brook beating him at this point.

    This. Crawford also has a 74 inch reach and knows how to use it.

    You can expect Crawford to rehydrate to 160+ once he gets to 147.

    Danny has limited foot speed and real trouble with someone who can stick and move. Look what Thurman did to Garcia. Why do you think his dad calls anyone who won't fight right in front of him a "runner." Garcia does NOT want that fight

    I believe so....it will be between him and Spence. Tough competition at this division. Talent rich and some real established vets holding it down
