Should WBO junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford (27-0, 19KOs) defeat Hank Lundy come this February 27th in New York City, most of the boxing world will be pushing for Crawford to fight  his Top Rank stablemate Viktor Postol, who holds the WBC's version of the 140-pound crown.

Fans weren’t too pleased when Lundy was announced as Crawford's opponent, because they felt it was the same level of opponent that Crawford had faced in 2015, and most were expected someone who didn't lose two of his last three fights.

If head trainer Brian “BoMac” Mcintyre had his way, Crawford would fight two more times this year with Postol being one of the opponents.

“(Postol) pretty much made the fight in the ring that night,” Mcintyre said in regards to Postol’s victory over Lucas Matthysse.

Mcintyre believes the fight will happen but feels Postol didn’t want to get in the ring with Crawford to start 2016.

“He (Postol) got on Instagram talking like we’ll fight Terence. They said they’ll do it two fights down. Someone said Postol denied the fight and then he goes back on Instagram saying he’ll fight Terence. I don’t care if he did or not accept the fight this time, let’s just make it happen.”

Although Lundy falls into the category of a Plan B scenario, Plan A was an April showdown with Manny Pacquiao. While Crawford was passed over in favor of a trilogy with Tim Bradley, Mcintyre says there’s no disappointment from anyone on their team.

“It was like a Plan B if Manny didn’t choose Terence....to go on regular HBO instead of pay-per-view if the fight with Manny didn’t happen,” explained the trainer. “No disappointment because Terence is going to make his own legacy. We don’t need Pacquiao to make his legacy. We know what we can do inside and outside the ring. We may get him down the line.”

Even if they don’t get Postol, Team Crawford is going to do what they do best, keep fighting.

“If Postol don’t get in the ring with us, it’s fine. We’ll just keep fighting and keep winning.”
