Postol v Crawford size difference..

[dan_cov]

I really do not see how Crawford wins this fight outside of a criminal decision I'll happily go on record and say I think Postol wins this fight and pretty comfortably at that.

Its not just the height & reach I think Postol is the better technician on top.

Postol is like a boxing robot.

bud is more technically sound than mosley, who depended more on his physical gifts to overwhelm opponents.

Bud systematically breaks you down. He is a better pure boxer than Mosley ever was

I think bud stops him late

my 2 cents

lol wtf? Mosley is a far better boxer and fighter than Crawford, in every possible department. You think Mosley would get outboxed by C level Dulorme for 6 rounds, or an inactive, chinny, 5'5 guy who's naturally 2-3 weight classes smaller than him, for 5 rounds? No.

Crawford has done absolutely nothing in the sport, he hasn't even been impressive against the street sweepers he's fought so far.

I don't even think he'll beat Postol, who's good but not elite.

Agree, I really don't know what people see in Crawford, Postol's jab and right hand are much sharper.

Crawford's skill and boxing ability is unbelievably overrated

So you are against the boxing rules that say that clinching or holding should be penalized?

No I'm against Grown Men who b1tch and complain about fighters styles instead of putting pressure on his opponent to Figure Him Out!

Clinching and Holding is nothing new, in fact during Jack Johnson Days if you go back and look at video, it was ALLOWED and ref would stay back forcing them to fight out. Now because guys know their favorite fighters CAN'T FIGHT INSIDE you guys want to try and change rules and want ref to enforce rules on something that to be honest, never been enforced!

Fighters have to figure it out, not the ref job to save a fighter from having to fight inside. This ERA is crying about Clinching and Holding Now all of a sudden because they know their favorite fighter CAN'T Fight inside

If you're truly a great figure, you have to be able to beat ALL STYLES and if you need to ref help vs Certain styles then maybe you're not that great after all!

Wonder if Crawford will fight out of the southpaw stance for much of the fight. I thought Lundy had some good moments when he turned southpaw against Postol. In general I think Lundy showed the benefits of being aggressive against Postol. He looks impossible to deal with from the end of his jab, but a lot more vulnerable when an opponent is willing to take chances.

The only thing Postol got going for him is size and reach. Otherwise Crawford is alot more skilled IMO. But that's why this fight is so interesting; size versus skills. People here comlpain about Crawford having fought some midgets (wich is not true) but he's actually a former 135 lbs that went up to 140. Why not complain then about GGG, Canelo, Postol and all thoses fools who never went up in the weight classes? Anyway, i think Crawford skills will be too much for Postol and he will win a decision.

And by the way, Mathysse was never no where near as good as Crawford

First off all, if you really believed any of this horse**** you'd post under your real account you coward alt.

Crawford has no skills. His entire style consists of switching southpaw
and power jabbing glass chinned, small, weak bums until their resistance is broken. That's not "skills" it's called being a bully who doesn't really believe in himself.


Crawford moving up......
Well lets face it he never had the balls to clean out lightweight cos frankly
Crawford is a b*tch. Miguel Vasquez had him shook...

And Crawford was handed a belt at light welter...
Algieri, Provodnikov and Mattyhsse were the 3 top rated guys for the belt
but who did Crawford fight??? lol!

Bum Crawfords record is cherrypicked trash compared to Lucas record, thats not even up for debate.
Lucas would dallas this bum, thats why Crawford ducked him....

I can't wait to hear the nsb excuses when Postol stops him....
But I'm sure bum crawlford will get "injured" in training any day now...

I think Postol get's another upset. Winner needs to be top 5 p4p for me too. Such an interesting fight this.. Not been buzzing or so intrigued about a match up like this one in ages. Let's not forget these two are both in there prime & considered the #1 & #2 in there division. This is a rare occurence nowadays! We never got a prime Manny v FMJ & it's looking like we aren't having Loma v Walters, Golovkin v Canelo or Kovalev v Stevenson too, so lets appreciate this one even though these two tend to fly under the radar a little! As for clinching, come on.. Hopkins, WK, Ward do it routinely! It is part & parcel so stop pretending to be outraged at it just because a fighter you tend to favour less in this fight does it! It was also a staple of Ali's arsenal! Like someone else said.. If Postol doesn't have the ability to negate or prepare for this then he doesn't deserve to win!

one of the best fights to be made in boxing. not really sure who wins. refreshing to be able to say that

Postol is like a boxing robot.

there's some bias if you really think this fight is virtually unwinnable for crawford outside of a robbery. this is a fight with parody. i'm leaning on postol because of his size, but to say that he's got insurmountable skills that crawford simply can't handle is wrong.
