    If Postol can knock someone out with an arm punch, imagine what he would do if he put his weight behind it? This dude would punch harder than Foreman and Klitschko combined.

    Hey Charcoal: Why don't you give us all a preview on how visually offensive you find Oleksander Usyk's boxing. There must be a myriad of things he does that somehow offend your skewed sensibilities.

    or, to put it another way,

    "People considering Lucas a good fighter is something beyond me.

    being beaten by Armpunching down to the s****heap"

    I think Crawford has a higher skillset than Postol.

    Postol should have been warned from the early rounds for the excessive clinching, not 4-5 rounds after. Lucas hurt him early too, but didn't follow up to finish him. And when Postol wasn't clinching, it's like Lucas forgot how to infight, rarely went for the body. Since the Molina fight, Lucas wasn't the same. He ko'd Soto and Peterson, 2 fighters better than Molina. The explosiveness and killer instinct not there anymore.

    While I think people are tending to overrate Postol at the moment, they were underrating him prior to this fight. While his size was clearly a factor, he had to execute the gameplan to make use of it, and he did, so give hime credit for that. Molina was also much bigger and look where he ended up. Size alone does not win fights. Molina may have had a fee moments of success, but aside from him catching LM with the KDs, it was not sustained. It was limited to a few brief moments.

    The only relation to Khan is the way both guys try to keep the opponent at the end of the jab and tie them up when they try to move in. But that isn't specific to Khan, and not so much the way Khan fought with Freddy, but does now.
