• July 19th 2019 – Bob Arum: “
Kell Brook means nothing anymore… [won’t fight Terence Crawford] ”
• 3rd April 2020 – Bob Arum: “
[We’re negotiating with Kell Brook’s team]… He’s capable of giving Terence a good fight… And he won’t quit like a chicken, like the way Amir Khan quit .”
Thoughts?

You're such a TC fan aren't you
Kell's still a solid fighter I think but his career obviously is lacking momentum right now

5 years late like the khan fight. Who is next after this Berto?

Not overly excited about this one. Kell is a good fighter but he could do with a significant win first if a Crawford fight is going to attract much interest in my opinion.

Crawford will smash Kell up. It's not a good fight for Kell. He struggles to make 147 as well.

Kell needs to give up on 147 and try to have a run at 154.
Crawford should be too sharp for Brook here, though Kell has a punchers chance.

This the curse of modern boxing.
Looks great for the brave hearted sham Crawford nailing the unfortunate fight hungry Brook at 147.
Khan v Brook is definitely past its shelf life, thanks mainly to the 'people's champion' Amir Khan finding easier and richer pickings elsewhere.
Let's face it, most of these protected pri*** don't give a stuff for the fans.
I hope Kell can somehow pull this off.
If not it might be time to hang up the gloves for the gallant Brook. A great career nonetheless and nothing more left to prove.

Think it will be similar to the Spence-Brook fight. Can see it being cagey early on with TC taking over in the second half with a late stoppage.

A few years too late for Kell.
Easy win for Crawford.
