    how can anyone say beating Postol?? Postol's best win is the same guy Garcia beat earlier in his career, Postol was never a lineal champ or a two weight champ, so clearly Thurman beating Garcia

      Thurman beating Garcia but not by much. The difference is not too many people expected Crawford to lose to Postol. I think people were more curious how he would get the victory.

      Thurman's size advantage would be the difference against Crawford. They both have good movement and reflex but Thurman has been fighting at WW for a long time so I don't think anything Crawford has to offer would overwhelm him.

        Because it showed a dimension of Crawford that wasn't seen before, he showed what a good stylistic boxer he is in beating a class boxer at his own game it wasn't expected that he would win with skills.

        Crawford would box the ears of Garcia and is dynamic enough he may even stop him, a lot of fans read names they don't actually look at the boxing.

          I've been saying Crawford gonna get the dominant win before the fight. Postol is a former security guard in a store with NO amateur experience and 41% KO ratio which makes Andre Ward look like a ****ing Mike Tyson, his ONLY good win is an overrated brawler who quit because of the eye injury, but he even had Postol in trouble few times

          I love Crawford, I think he has hall of fame kind of talent, but people overrate Postol like he was an ELITE fighter to make TC's resume look better, only because Postol pulled off an upset before and they thought that's gonna happen again

          A former security guard with no amateur background doesn't have ANY chance to outbox a fighter who's been boxing since childhood, his only chance would be a lucky punch, but then again, Postol doesn't have enough power for lucky punch

          Of course, Danny Garcia is a way better win - a mother****er with good chin who always favored on scorecards in close fights. That's not even a question

            Postol is a guy with 12 KO's in 28 fights, and has only beat one good fighter, any A class fighter can look good against Postol, Crawford could have stopped Postol if he wanted but choose not to and put us to sleep, Thurman would have KO'ed Postol in the first round with the right hand he landed on Garcia

              Crawford...

              Thurman did exactly what I thought he would do vs Danny...


              Crawford made it look easy vs postal and turned it into a sparring session..

              Both were 50/50 fights going into it... Thurman-Danny played out like a 60/40 fight,,, Crawford-postal was 90/10

              Only lomachenko performance vs Walters was better than Crawford's...

                Green K for that. Postol/Crawford was NEVER a 50/50 fight like some people pretend

                  I was looking at Crawford and how he won that fight he showed an entire different side and that was impressive, Roach couldn't believe he did what he did, if Crawford could stop him he would have its hard to stop a guy like Postal, fighters with brains don't go all out to stop guys if a ko-tko presents they take it.

                  Would have could have Id rather stick to what I actually see .

                    Damn Garcia almost looks exactly how Khan did when he got KO'd vs Canelo, Danny got helluva chin though.
