How about start with Mikey Garcia first... industry is welcoming his return rather nicely, and he will have to face harder challenges from 135+ as he said his career is NOW about to start and seeking tougher challenges. If Postol vs Crawford goes the distance. Expect Postol vs Crawford II or Postol vs Garcia 2017, assuming Crawford wins.
Thurman...way too powerful, and Crawford hasn't demonstrated speed going up north of 140, and he also demonstrated getting clicked by Lundy clean several times. substitute that by Thurman or how he got clicked by Gamboa -
Crawford is yet to beat anybody in the top 20 at 140. He's lost rounds against guys like Dulorme and Lundy. I need to see him fight a credible opponent first, which of course Postol is. Lets see how he copes.
Thurman would take Crawford out, probably early. I'm not sure Crawford would beat anyone in the top 10 at welter, maybe Vargas but tbh I've only got him in the top 10 cos he's got a belt.Comment

Crawford is a 5 to 1 betting favorite but Postol has a KO win over Matthysse and he is the only fighter to do that. Matthysse is better than anyone Crawford has fought.Crawford and Postol are both very good fighters with fast accurate combinations. Crawford is a big puncher with both hands but he was hurt by Gamboa while Crawford was not hurt by the harder punching Matthysse. I think Postol will score an upset win but I am not at all sure about it.Comment

I think the answer will be a clear Thurman by Sunday.
My guess and money is on Postol winning (the odds are nuts for a 1 vs 2 fight where the 2 guy probably gots the best W) and I think the 2nd most likely option is Crawford wins a close and/or bs decision that most feel he doesn't deserve.Comment

Sorry about the mistake. I am so looking forward to the Crawford vs Postol fight that I thought I was picking the winner of that fight. After reading the question again I see this is about Thurman vs Crawford. Thurman is a big welterweight while Crawford fought at 135 not long ago. Thurman is a much bigger fighter. I don't see how Crawford could beat him. Thurman is a clever boxer and a big puncher at 147 so I think he has the edge on Crawford in every way. He probably hits harder and he takes a punch better. He is taller with a longer reach and he is just as fast. I think he is a smarter and more controlled boxer than Crawford. I think Thurman would figure Crawford out and knock him out.Comment
