    Crawford/Troyanovskiy might be the fight to make

    Troyanovskiy destroyed Cuenca again. Him vs Crawford would be a barnburner and a more fan friendly fight than a runner clincher Postol. Its a more winnable fight for Crawford and its a unification too..

    postol's not even good. he got a debatable decision against lundy. crawford beats him easy. don't be fooled by his clinchfest against matthysse. crawford doesn't figth like matthysse and will pick him apart on the outside. troya is a much more dangerous fight because he can punch and if he can take a punch will be a threat to win.

      If Crawford can beat Troyanovskiy his name can only get bigger then the Postol unification would be his break out moment..

        i am all for it. postol doesn't deserve a fight on hbo/ppv or anywhere for that matter after that farce against matthysse.

          if crawford *****es out of the postol fight then postol-troya is #1 on my jr ww wishlist. the winner would be the real champ and crawford can go sit on the sidelines if he doesn't want to test himself

            ... The Russian school is better that the Ukrainian... There are some significant differences there...

              Then why is Teresa Crawford ducking?

                Seems unlikely HBO will offer anymore money for that fight than for Crawford-Postol. Seems unlikely it'd sell anymore on PPV. Also seems like Arum would rather keep things in-house so can't see it happening unless the Russian is willing to accept Lundy-level money.

                  Postol and Crawford are the two best 140 pounders and they should fight first to decide who is number one. KOing Matthysse is a hell of a feat. Nobody else ever came close. Postol didn't KO him by clinching and holding. There were some hard accurate punches involved. Crawford has been cherry picking lately. He needs to man up and fight Postol who is ready ,willing and able to fight him. The winner of that fight is number 1 at 140, not Troyanovskiy.

                    Troyanovsky is completely unproven.

                    If Crawford doesn't fight somebody in the top 10 in his next fight I'm done with him.
