I sigh when people say that a guy was winning after x number of rounds and would have won over a shorter distance. Eg Leonard v Hearns 1 or here Brook v Spence
The winner got the job done in the allotted time. Shorter distance and they would have dropped the hammer earlier

Re: Crawford’s Trainer: F*** That; Not Fighting Brook In England
Amir Khan explains why Crawford v Brook will happen next
Asked about Brook’s presence at the arena, and the possibility of the Yorkshireman facing Crawford, Khan was quite sure a contest was on the cards.
“I didn’t physically see Kell Brook at the fight or after, but I knew he was there,” Khan exclusively told World Boxing News.
“I didn’t see him. But anyway, I’m hearing he’s fighting Crawford next. I think they just don’t have that many opponents for Crawford.
“They might just take the Brook fight. I think there’s some truth in that. I believe he could face Crawford next.”
Asked why Crawford would pick out Brook for a return later in the year, Khan replied: “They want to keep building his name and they want to keep him busy.
“If you think about it, after Kell Brook who else is there? Who is a recognized name that he can fight (on Top Rank / ESPN) this year?
“I mean, Kell Brook has fought some decent names. Brook is probably the only guy out there who has fought decent names and is available.
“He’s been in the ring with some big names like Gennadiy Golovkin. Also, he has no fight lined up. The fact he’s not fighting on June 1st is probably because Crawford wants to fight him.
“I think they’ll just use him as just another big name for Crawford’s record as there’s nobody else available,” he concluded.

Brook missed the opportunity to capitalise on the Porter win.
He was at his peak then and wasted his time on easy fights and then the gamble against Golovkin which, whilst brave and a good pay day, was shortsighted and foolhardy.
Moving up and down in weight and previously getting knocked about by Golovkin affected his chances against Spence. A pre Golovkin Brook would have been 50/50 with Spence.
Alas, I think the ship has sailed now and Crawford would handle him fairly easily, either by wide points decision or by wearing him down late on. I just don't see Brook having another night left in him where he can hit top level
