Terence Crawford (28-0, 20KOs), who holds the WBO super lightweight championship, will soon be up against his biggest test: undefeated Viktor Postol of Ukraine, which is regularly churning out title contenders. Postol also is 28-0, with 12 knockouts, and owns the WBC title.

I can definitely see the Roy Jones influence.

I see very little Mayweather in Crawford, other then that ****y attitude

[NapalmKnuckles]

I see more Tarver in his style than Jones or Mayweather.

After Postol beats him...people will say he's more like Jeff Lacy..

Crawford has high ring IQ. He doesn't have Floyd/Roy hand-speed, but his ability to fight in either stance is a beautiful thing to watch! He has his hands full, and I wish him luck! I hope this is his last fight @ 140. Time to put on his "big boy" pants and go test 147!

I can definitely see the Roy Jones influence.

I do as well, in the way that he sort of "freestyles" and grabs oppotunities as they come. He's not a guy who goes in with a rigid gameplan he's going to implement. Rather, he feels out what the opponent is planning to do and capitalizes when the openings come.

I see a little Haggler too, in that he doesn't mind standing and taking a shot in order to give a better one back.

Terence isn't particularly fast with his hands, but his reflexes and responses are incredibly quick. The guy's mind moves fast.

Crawford has a ****ty attitude?

[Santa_]

If Crawford beats Postol he deserves to be in the top 2 or 3 P4P in the world.

[Beercules]

I don't see Mayweather really either.

Maybe some Mosley?
