If Crawford wins his next fight (which I can't imagine he won't), this would be such a good fight. I'm very high on Crawford but postol seems to be a bad style matchup for everybody with his length and boxing ability. I'd have to pick Crawford but this fight needs to happen next if at all possible.
I agree. I think Crawford beats him too but at the same time I'd be quite surprised if these two actually fight (this decade). I don't think there's a great deal of money in it and is a hard hard fight for both but for me Crawford has the flair and that ultra quick mind to keep on top of the fight.
Pistol wouldn't be able to use his height as an advantage.
Crawford wins UD 117 -111
Is Postol that good? I have not seen the fight yet but Crawford is a quality operator.
It's not that he seems great but just a style nightmare more many fighters. He is very tall and can box well. He seems to have decent power too as well as a solid chin.Quote:

This is an excellent match-up. There's a reason that Danny Garcia paid him step aside money and then left the division to fight Paulie Malignaggi. We just saw what happened to Lucas Matthysse. Postol has better wins at 140 than Crawford has. Delorme or Matthysse? Hard not to favor Crawford with his standout performance against Gamboa, but what would Postol have done with Gamboa. Will Top Rank risk it?
Postol is a bit unique with the gangly awkward style, great composure also, but I think Crawford will be big for the division and it will suit him well. His sharpshooting down the middle style and top notch ability to box from either stance would find enough dead spots on a much wider Postol me thinks.
I really doubt promotion would cancel out a rising diamond in the rough either way by matching the two. Crawford has come basically from obscurity to find a huge nich with hometown crowd and being mentioned as future superstar. No doubt he'd say bring it on is asked though.
I want to see the fight, and I hope it gets made. I don't see either fighter backing away from anyone! How could this fight not make money?Quote:
