None gives Postol a chance? Really?

His dominant KO victory against Lucas (Yea I had Postol up 6-3 up to the stoppage) is better than anything else on Crawford's Resume, and dont bring up Yuriorkis Gamboa who was not a Natural 135Lber..

Lucas is an established veteran at 140Lbs regarded by many (Before this fight) as the best in the world.

I really cant believe how all of you jump so quickly to say Crawford wins this fight, its a 50/50 fight in my Eyes.

Postol does the basics really well and is a big, strong man at the weight. Crawford seems the more gifted and the more flamboyant of the 2. It'd be a tough scrap for both.

Nothing against Postol, but he looks a bit too basic to beat Crawford who wouldn't just follow him around the ring eating jabs like Matthysse did.

I think Postol wins. I think his reach will negate a lot of the things Crawford does well against other fighters. Crawford was stunned and hurt by a midget in Gamboa. I think Postol hits a lot harder than Gamboa despite what his knockout record says.

Sometimes I just don't give resumes too much notice.

Talent wise I genuinely feel Crawford can go on to make a strong challenge to be p4p no1 in a couple years. It's as simple as that

If I thought he'd lose to Postol (who is a good fighter in his own right) then I wouldn't be thinking that.

I just think Crawford is levels above the competition and comparing previous opponents doesn't always show that, but it's how it is

I agree.

I understand how you think and its totally reasonable, cant argue with that.

I think that it's a great fight and tough to call. I am going with Crawford just because he's the better athlete. I'll alway opt for the better athlete when two opponents stack up evenly like these two do. TC is just a big and long as Postol so he won't be able to lean on those attributes as much as he's done with smallish fighters like Matthysse and Aydin.

Great fight to make though, i'm all for it.

Completely agree, I see this guy being a future P4P King. I love Matthysse, and was surprised to see him lose, but he is easy to hit. He takes one to give one regularly. I thought Postol fought brilliantly, came up with a game plan, and never wavered. Crawford it not an easy target, he has excellent skills, and could be a bit too quick. Would be a great fight though.

If anyone can beat him its Crawford, but Postol is not easy fight for anyone. He is essentially a Vladimir Klitschko in small package. Long jab, fast feet, holding inside, good power. I am sure he beats Danny Garcia for example. Lets hope they make it soon, the best fight in the division in my opinion.
