They offered Postol the fight. Postol said no, he needs tune-ups or more money. It's right there in the articleComment

Yea was before he beat Matthysse and was a no name without a belt. Now he has the belt and offered him the fight and Postol turned it down. Even though Postol called him out after the Matthysse fight.Comment

Well, TR just happened to ask Postol's camp first. Believe me, Crawford camp would probably not even respond to the Postol offer. Let's see if Crawford will push for it. Otherwise, he's not interested. Postol too risky doe.
Point is, they BOTH want big money.Comment

Here's that thread
Ukraine's Viktor Postol (28-0, 12KOs) made a big statement on Saturday night, when he knocked out heavily favored Lucas Matthysse in ten rounds to capture the vacant WBC junior welterweight championship at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. After the fight, Postol called for a unification with WBO champion Terence Crawford (26-0, 18KOs). Both Postol and Crawford are handled by Top Rank. Crawford returns on October 24th when he defends his belt against Dierry Jean of Canada.Comment

Yep, you just confirmed that Crawford turned down the fight and he chose Jean. Translation: He wants BIG money for the Postol fight.Here's that thread

Translation: Postol camp want it, but they want BIG money. Just like the Crawford camp.VP of Top Rank, Inc., Carl Moretti put out on social media that Postol wanted to have two fights in between before facing Crawford. To that statement, Kornilov said, “Well we thought it would be a good idea to have one or two fights before Crawford, but in reality if it all made sense we are ready to fight Crawford now.” - See more at: http://www.boxingscene.com/postol-pr....IyPsO0ik.dpufComment

In the original post, the twitter quote said “Well we thought it would be a good idea to have one or two fights before Crawford, but in reality if it all made sense we are ready to fight Crawford now.”
I'm guessing they're talking about money, if the money was right, they'd fight TC next.
We'll see what kind of match ups TC has in 2016, I'm looking forward to it because if he stays at 140, the Postol fight is likely to happen as is one of the other "names" in the division.Comment

I tell it like it is. Don't think I don't notice how y'all green k me and kiss my ass when I criticize a black fighter/complement a white fighter. But when it's vuce versa I'm biased and racist. I see right through you dudes.
Just like my sig show. When you're impartial everybody is your enemy.Comment
