Guys like Gomez and Diaz couldn't hang with Granados in the pocket, Imam did for 8 rounds. A weak chin? Are you actually ******ed? He ate over 500 punches and was exhausted, it has nothing to do with his chin. His defence definitely needs work and he needs to use his feet more for sure. He's still a kid, he's got a long time left in the game.
    He has a weak chin. He got rocked by Ugas, and dropped by Maldonado.

      Are there any posts that said Granados would win?

      If so, I'd be impressed.

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.
          What does me not having boxed have to do with it? I would bet the majority of posters on here haven't. You don't need to be a gourmet chef to know when someone else's cooking is bad.

          And evidence points to Imam having a weak chin. You're just such a fanboy that you ignore it.

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...
            Imam hasn't shown me he can go 12 hard rounds. Crawford miles ahead right now; end of

                  Crawford'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. Imam was supposed to beat Granados and he simply didn't live up to expectations. People keep saying that all of his flaws were apparent before last night, but he looked like absolute crap yesterday.

                    Decent? Shady said 12 hard rounds, Crawford has never been 12 hard rounds, the 1 good fighter he's fought was 2-3 weight classes smaller than him, everyone else he's fought aren't anywhere near as good as Granados.

                      Didn't really get the hype and I was surprised so many people said he would beat Postol
