I also don't think he's lost a round and has KO'd everybody.
If that's "nothing" then surely GGG's career up until his disputed draw with Canelo was a big nothing then?

Part of it with Crawford is the level of dominance in his wins, if Taylor can consistently win by KO/wide decision at title unification level then he can be in the conversation for best fighter in the world, same with the GGG/Clenelo and Usyk/Gassiev winners.
Current Postol isn't rated highly because time changes things, fighters decline, have bad performances, are 34 etc.
It's like how Danny Garcia gets more credit than Postol does for beating LM. Because guys in their 30s can decline in the 2 years after a defeat. And LM had some decent wins in those 2 years, Postol has done nothing since the Crawford loss except get dropped by somebody he was expected to beat easy.

Originally posted by chrisJS View PostPostol lost 12-0 to Crawford, including some knockdowns and has fought once in two years since. That's probably factored in also. Sometimes fighters aren't the same after a loss. Crawford ruined Gamboa as a 2-1 underdog and perhaps that's a reference that after a guy is taken apart by Crawford he's not the same. Tito Trinidad used to do that with highly touted guys too, unbeaten ones also.

Stupid logic.
Sports in general are a momentum thing.
In boxing is just like that. Take for example GGG KO streak the dude was a beast, after the KO streak now all of sudden he "is not that good" right?
Guess what? He lost a bit of momentum there.
Same logic applies here. Postol got a decent win over mathisse, and he got the momentum after a few wins. He then fought Crawford and got beat, not looking good after that. Hence why you got now bookies underestimating him
