    Exposed because he lost a fight? There's your modern day boxing 'fan'. Absolute ******. 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.

    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.

      Verdejo is also a good prospect, still don't think he looks as good as Spence has just yet. He's still got time, however.
      nothing really special about spence other than his power and being much bigger than his opponents (able to bully them and land those body shot KOs). his defense, footwork and hand speed are all average and nothing special at all.

      imo verdejo is far more impressive and has beaten the better competition and is 4 years younger. but for some reason he doesn't get as much hype around here.

        I think Spence is very good, I'm sold on his skillset, I just need to see his heart/will and chin tested.

            Who did Granados beat that's better than Crawford?

            Imam showed poor defense and low ring IQ. You have no credibility whatsoever, so don't be calling ME an idiot. I will now disregard any and all of your posts from now on, and I would advise other people to do the same.

            If Imam can't beat someone who's a gatekeeper, what hope does he have against the best in the division?

              And don't forget, his power was on par with Matthysse who he would already beat.

                I didn't say Granados beat anyone better than Crawford (although he has), I said he has a far better resume. Lets see Crawford fight a guy who throws 100 punches per round instead of C level Dulormes and Dierry Jeans.

                I have no credibility, says some reactionary, fickle mongrel on boxingscene.

                  I'm sorry but the fact that you're a massive Imam fan really overshadows your arguement. Imam has shown nothing to prove he can beat Crawford or Postol right now. When the going got tough he crumbled, I've yet to see that Crawford. I'm judging on what I've seen rather than potential and Imam has to work his way up again. Don King also turned down a million dollars from team Ruslan and thank god he did.

                    Fickle? I said for months Imam wasn't anything special.

                    Who has Granados beat that was better than Crawford? Who has he beaten that is better than anyone on Granados' resume?

                    Face it, your boy Imam got exposed.
