This fight could be made. Imam is the #1 contender. He's also tall.

I'm big on Imam. I think he can make some noise, but I'm not sure how he'll handle the huge jump in ability.

Both like to work with the big straights... Only thing is Imam has KTFO pop on his... I think Postol is better technically due to the negating defensive movement and good mobility...

This would be a good fight. The only thing that i dont like is now we have to try and remember what network these guys are tied to. I think the last fight he has was on showtime. If that is the case there may be an issue with making the fight with postol. If i had to make a pick, it would be the young master to win.

I think imam is with don king so it seems makeable. I think it is a bit too soon for imam who I really like.

Imam is a DK fighter so it probably is makeable but I think I'd prefer Crawford/Postol. I feel like Crawford and Postol are the clear #1 and #2 of the division and should fight ASAP.

Maybe Imam/Provodnikov?

I'm completely with you here. I really like this kid Imam and what I've seen with him so far. He's got power in both hands and is really smooth. I would love to see Imam take up a challenge like this one. Man there are so many great fights to be made out there these days.

This would be a great fight. I think it will depend on if the WBC go full corrupt on Postol and make him fight Imam right away without giving him one voluntary.
I think Crawford-Postol is the ultimate fight in the division, but I would want Postol to get 2 fights and some paydays before that fight.

I would say fight some legit fighter in the WBC rankings like Herrera, Giacon or Seldin.

Then fight Amir Imam.

Then showdown with Crawford if he gets this far.

The WBC gave Deontay Wilder permission to have two voluntaries before he has to fight Povetkin.

How many will they allow Postol before he has to fight Imam?

I'd go Imam but only due to the fact I don't rate Postol.
I reckon his win was more due to Matthysse being poor than him skilled.

He holds way to much and looks like he'd struggle against a really good infighter.

GREAT fight.
