Terence Crawford clearly outbox Postol and made him look like a slacker.I didn't see Postol come strong in any rounds but the last round.

I was surprised by how comprehensively Crawford dominated Postol once they got past the first few rounds. Bud definitely takes time to get untracked and the pattern seems to repeat itself vs Gamboa, Lundy and Postol.

The dominance of Postol is getting him the respect he definitely deserves. When he KOd Gamboa many said it was because Yuri came up from a lower weight class. Now that he beat a man bigger than him he will finally get the respect he is overdue.

Is Postol bigger than Crawford? Crawford was 5 pounds heavier when they weighed in the same day.

Taller doesn't necessarily mean bigger.

Crawford fought like it was a sparring session where a trainer told him to run not engage much.

Fuuck out of here if you really think Crawford would school Manny easier.

You sound like a straight noob.

Postol is a nobody who got Matthysse at a perfect time, right now even a 35 yr old manny would chew postol up like nothing.

Even a past his prime manny beats most 140lbers, i like Crawford and knew he would play with a fighter the level postol rather easly but postol couldn't even carry Mannys jock strap.

Yes, Crawford would comfortably beat Manny, and it would be wider than Floyd did. Which is why Manny will not pick Crawford.

It's not comical, it's deranged.. I dunno if TC can even beat old Manny, not like he's faced anyone in the same league. Pacquiao still has the legs the power and the hard style to deal with. And great chin/resilience. One thing is undoubtedly clear, that fight isn't close to easy for either guy.

Thank you.

Honestly these ppl thinking Crawford somehow beats manny easly is just ridiculous.

Manny has only been out boxed twice and thats to two legendary all Time great technicians.

I don't see how someone can jump the gun so badly in assuming that Crawford who has never been in the ring with anyone even close to manny.

I bet those saying that were the ones rooting for postol and are now trying to justify his loss by saying Crawford beats manny even easier.

Boxing is not for those two posters that predicted that.

It would be easy, isn't going to happen. He'd be a tough fight for any Manny. Old clean Manny would be toast. Either stopped coming in or clowned into not punching.

I don't think Crawford would beat Postol easier than he beat Manny, but I think he'd beat Manny as clearly as Floyd beat Manny.

3" taller with 3+" longer reach. Plus Postol has fought over 140# more times than he's fought at 140 or below. Crawford has been at 140 or below in almost all of his fights.

Considering how much respect Crawford gave 32 year old Postol, which only has a right hand and with very average power behind it, just imagine how much he would run around the ring vs a powerpuncher like Manny.

The minute Manny lands something good, Crawford will be on his bicycle all night.
Then the judges will have to sort out the mess.

I would rather like to see Crawford vs Brook, after Gennady sends him back to welter. If Crawford wins that, then yes, make the Manny superfight.

Roach is also clearly concerned about an outcome of Crawfor fight for Manny, as he plays a known "but not right now" game:

Anybody that watched that fight and doesn't see trouble for Manny either loves Pac so much they think it's 8 years ago or they don't know what they're looking at.

[quote="SaadOffTheDeck"]He'd school Manny even easier.[/quote Crawford won't be able to school Pacquiao easier but there's still a strong chance he might be able to defeat Pac Man because Manny isn't as good as he use to be.If Crawford fights smart,he could pull off a win against Pacquiao but theres no doubt Pacquiao still has the skills to compete with Crawford.

I have doubt, so does Arum and Roach. That's why we probably never see it.

I can't think of a Manny fight where he would have no advantages. He hits harder than Floyd, I don't even think he's a bigger puncher than Crawford at this point.

Postol beat an aggressive ko artist in Lucas but has never showed any real versatility. Not even sure how much Lucas had left anyways. Fight was a little overrated coming in I thought. A great matchup but not ppv material and the results showed. Overall a lackluster and hardly competitive fight with some tension but hardly any real back and forth action. Postal a real let down for never trying to go balls out despite being way behind on the sc. And Crawford never really stepped on the gas despite being the superior fighter. Looked like a sparring session

It was a impressive win, but I wasn't as high on Postol as some people. I personally don't rate Postol that much and don't think he hangs with any of the top guys at 147. 147 is where Crawford's real tests lie and there's no doubt he'd be a force on that division.
