brook or postol, who's better p4p atm?

[LoadedWraps]

This isn't a serious question. I feel like I've said so about 20 times in the last week, but it's true: resumes aren't the be all end all for rankings. There's this thing called the eyes test in boxing, for people who actually know/practice the sport. Brook is the better fighter and it's not even close to close.

Casuals and trolls will be casuals and trolls doe.

Both of them are good fighters and bad clinchers. I like both of them but I would like them much better if they didn't clinch so much.

how many of their fights have you watched?

[soul_survivor]

Brook is the better all round fighter in almost every department but imo Postol has the better single win. However, considering skill without regard for weight is what a p4p list is all about, I'd rank Brook higher.

[Doctor_Tenma]

I would say Brook most certainly does pretty much everything better than Postol.

I agree here, Brook has displayed more skills. Postol is more, us realizing how dangerous he is because of his size and he does have skills as well, it's still more attributed to his size and what kind of problems that will cause at 140.

I like Postol a lot. Heard sparring stories going back to when he first started at Wildcard years ago - just never really saw him fight. But a lot of people say he was dangerous.

However, at this stage, Kell Brook is better.

I agree, as of now Brook is better but Postol may go on to be a serious problem at 140 and 147 if he continues how he's going. I think Postol is very good but his size helps him a lot. Not convinced that he has a solid chin and I think Lucas was too small to reach him. Whereas bigger guys like Crawford will reveal a lot

I've seen Imam work up close, still hard to say how good his inside game is. I've yet to see whether Crawford can fight on the inside but he certainly knows how to move into different angles, especially out of the southpaw stance. I think it's important to be able to work Postol's body up close or he's gonna continue to lean on you, tire you out, one has to apply the equalizer, that being a body attack from up close. It's hard to say how things'll go at 140, as much as I like Matthysse (Not a fan) he fought a ****** fight, I liked what I saw from Postol but I still don't know how good he is. The fights just need to happen at this point because I'm not sold on anyone.

Agree with everything, good post

[joesaiditstrue]

both guys have one win and clinched for dear life in that one win. how do you rank clinchers? does one guy have better clinching technique than the other? does it go by quantity of clinches?

to be fair, you could argue that Postol fought better and more effectively when he was forced to stop clinching

lol @ resumes don't matter
