So Imam will be the mandatory for the winner of Matthysse vs Postol. Very happy with this, I think Imam is the biggest talent at 140.

Imam is definitely one of the best prospects in the game right now. He should stop Angulo and I hope Matthysse can beat Postol because Matthysse vs Imam would be a great fight!

[Greed.]

He's too easy to hit but has good power and lets his hands go well.

Very good technical fighter, great jab and solid fundamentals. I wanted to see him fight Broner before but I doubt that can happen now. He'll be a tough fight for Lucas as he has power, is tall and even has a longer reach than Mayweather. However, Maldonado Jr made him dance so if he gets caught, night night.

He's a quality fighter, Don King has got himself a stud. Taking on the winner of Lucas/Postol may be a bit more than he can handle though.

Imam is one of the top prospects and future champions out there. I like his skill and dude has good power.

Nah, that's not how boxing works. We've seen guys get hurt and dropped by lesser punchers then take punches well from stronger guys. Too many variables, it's not that simple.

I would pick him to beat any guy at 140 including Lucas. He does need to sharpen up his defence but sometimes it can be a good thing to throw a talent like this in at the deep end, it's what makes superstars. Can you imagine the hype around him if he beat Matthysse in like his 19th/20th pro fight?

I've been impressed by this guy since I first saw him fight a couple years ago.

Yes its exactly how it works. He gets hit more than he should, Matthysse knocks him out at this stage of his career. We can make a bet if this fight happens. (This has nothing to do with Thurman getting caught by Karass)
