    Manny destroys him. A good performance (which involved him running for 36 minutes prompting boos from the 7000 strong crowd) against a completey poor Postol and he's p4p, the next Mayweather, Ward etc..

    Boring as hell to watch and just spends his entire time running. Hardly heard outside of omaha and fights in front of 7000 at the MGM.

    Ppv my **** :lol:

    He completely nullified Postol last night which is great in itself but I'm still not getting the hype.

    Bob Arum told reporter: Top Rank Matchmakers "Pac is too much for Crawford".
    Crawford wants to fight Pac at 140, who the *** is Crawford? He's not an A side, He doesn't bring anything to the table.
    Pac was trying to fight him instead of Bradly but Crawford turned down that fight, its fact.

    Why am I the only one completely unimpressed by Crawford ? I am not even a Crawford hater ? guy looks okayish but I cant help but feel lots of other fighters would have utterly dominated Postol.People forget Mattysse was clipping Postol at will until the headbutt certainly looked more impressive than Crawford.

    Crawford is there for the taking imo, and I'll be proven right because he wont be let near any top 5 welter any time soon because they know it too.

    Whilst I thought Crawford did a great job in nullifying Postol I cannot see the hype.

    He's a good fighter no doubt but idiots are talking like he's unbeatable when he isn't.

    To be fair I can't see anyone at 140 currently beating him but him weighing in at 157 last night he should be moving up soon. There are a few fighters I'd take to beat him at 147.

    140 turned in to a ghost town after everyone moved up.
    I see Crawford getting stopped early vs any top 5 at 147.

    No way. Crawford will dominate 147 as well. Too much skills and slickness

    Good fighter but definitely overhyped

    Comparisons to Mayweather are ridiculous. Floyd would school him like Canelo

    He completely schooled a guy you more than likely picked to beat him, consensus top 2 at 140 but you don't get the hype. Ok.

    Anyone that understands boxing can tell Crawford is one of the most complete fighters in the game right now, legit p4p talent.

    I did go for Postol and said if Crawford wins he should get the props that he deserves.

    But, that wasn't a elite performance by Crawford at all. Not on par with what the other p4p fighters are doing.

    Is he an excellent fighter? No doubt but I'm not seeing this extra special talent which is the future of PPV and boxing itself.

    The fight last night stunk.

    Disappointed eh, lmfao. Crawford should've kod his ass. That's what was disappointing to me. He didn't go in for te kill.
