Crawford and Postol are nothing like Granados, Granados has probably got the best inside game at 140/147 and he throws 100 punches per round. Imam beats Crawford, I'd still pick him to beat Postol as well but that's more 50-50.
And didn't last night prove that? Granados would've absolutely been a better win than a 5'5 blown up featherweight who's naturally 2-3 weight classes smaller than you.
You're very clearly a casual fan, I did tell you Granados is a monster despite picking Imam to win. Don't just look at his boxrec page and dismiss him, actually watch his fights and you'll see that all his losses have been close/controversial against top level guys.
Granados now has a FAR better resume than Crawford. Win over Imam and he should have a win over Solomon too. Plus he's younger and has actually fought top guys unlike Crawford.
I would love to see Granados versus Crawford. I think Crawford sticks to his strengths unlike Imam and outboxes Granados. I think Imam can bounce back for sure but you can't absolve him and his glaring deficiencies that came to surface in this fight as well as past fights. The only difference is his power and opponent's caliber couldn't bail him out. He needs to tune up a lot of things before trying to climb the ranks again.

He's a textbook modern day boxing fan. If a fighter goes down he's chinny, if he loses a fight he's a bum and exposed, if he uses his feet he's running etc.
And evidence points to Imam having a weak chin. You're just such a fanboy that you ignore it.

Originally posted by John Locke View PostWhat has Crawford shown that suggests he can beat Imam? Beating an inactive guy who's half your size? He has done literally nothing noteworthy other than beat Gamboa and even in that fight he was being outclassed. Fair enough Postol has proven his worth and if you think he beats Imam I can't argue.
Imam and Solomon (didn't get the decision but nearly everyone who was there said he won).
He lost a fight against a very tough and underrated fighter, if that's your definition of exposed, whatever...

Originally posted by kiaba360 View PostCrawford's last 8 opponents were decent, whereas Imam has only fought 3 decent guys. Also, Crawford has gone 12 rounds twice while Imam has only gone 10 rounds once. Although I was hyped on Imam, never did I think he was ahead of Crawford.
