    Well, I mean he's not elite*, is how I should phrase it.
    Postol was built him up big time until he lost to TC...now he sucks.

      Inactivity is ruining fighters. All these good fighters with nothing scheduled, or a year in between fights, is pathetic to say the least. This affects almost all fighters in boxing, not just a few.

          There are a lot of interesting fight that could be made involving Postol, but old Arum is just letting him waste away.
          He will be activated as soon as arum needs him to lose at 140 to one of his top guys. Maybe benevidez or Jose Ramirez.

            Ward and Mayweather's styles are not fan-friendly either.

              Yes, very true.

                Arum only wants to exploit certain fighters. The flashy blingy types.

                  No, leaving anyone who wants to fight inactive for a long time is unethical.

                  Postol was also inactive for many months before he fought Crawford.

                    I don't care. I'm not the one building him up from before. I never thought he was special.
