    LOL, then he really will be a rival for Chenko.

    What are you LOLing about? Have you seen Josh Taylor? And based on skillset, Crawford will never be on Loma's level.

    Funny, we haven't gotten one "the foreigner got robbed in America" thread yet about Diaz losing a MD to a guy from CA in Kentucky...

    Hmmmm.

    Well, I mean, Chenko did build his rep on beating an old, washed-up super-bantam.

    And yes, Taylor is very good. And will probably beat Postol, that doesn't mean Postol cant fight. I'd estimate that 1/2 the predictions here went Postol's way before the Crawford fight.

    Postol beat Lundy, Aydin and beat the hell out of Matthysse, and then late last year he beat an undfeated Uzbek...

    And let's not forget, beating an undefeated Walters, who was a killer, that IIRC, you praised as someone who beat two hall of famers.

    Lol just a different path is all,Lomo was famous as an amateur and won gold medals before turning pro,seriously you don’t think after hundreds of amateur fights he hasn’t worked for it also.
    I take you can’t enjoy each one then which was the question I put out cause to be sure I think both are equally as good right now and quite rightly PFP top spot is between those two and for what it’s worth nobody is denigrating his path it’s just a different path is all.

    One, Donaire. I don't remember ever saying that Vic was HOF (although that was back when I was heavilly on cocaine, so If you find a link, now you know why.)

    And Dawg, let's be real, Walters bottled it. He did not throw one legit punch in the fight and celebrated like he won the lottery afterwards...and he hasn't fought again since.

    You haven't seen that either have you? Its debatable he won, it was damn close, and he almost got KTFO in the 5th. Its timestamped.

    You wrote two possible Hall of Famers right here.
    Walters didn't let his hands go, because he couldn't, he was both befuddled, couldn't find the target and scared of being countered, he didn't bottle anything, he was just thoroughly outclassed.

    Yeah about right though I’d be fearing his head butts and foul play more than anything

    I didn't watch that one. Thanks. But he fought an undefeated young guy from the new boxing hotbed and got the decision, albeit at home. And he walked through everything Matthysse hit him with for 12 rounds.

    If he loses to Josh Taylor in Glasgow at 34, so what?

    Not only that Crawford win over Postal was very cagey,lots of holding and fouling ala Andre Ward,he knows how bad it was as to his credit he’s not fought that way since as I’ll bet the networks came down on him for that show as well.
    Taylor’s gonna toast Postal on this evidence,and unlike Crawford I reckon he’ll be slick about it
