You all need to cool it with the Crawford hype, there's a reason he ran for the rest of the match from Postol after the KD's, he got the lead on the cards and didn't want to risk it. It wasn't just him putting on a masterful "schooling" he's been rocked several times in the past, he can be rocked again, and what Troya does possess is power, and he's not unaccustomed to walking fighters down to land it. Troya fights nothing like Postol who is a counter puncher by nature, not even close to a pressure fighter. Will Troya land clean? Maybe, and with him, unlike Postol, it might only take one shot.
"Ducking" would imply that he has actually taken steps to avoid a fight. Unless you have some evidence of this, you might want to change the title of your masterpiece thread to "Crawford has no idea that Troyanovsky exists."
if you ever want a good joke...check out troyanovskys resume on boxrec...36 years old....this guy might be the only guy worse than golovkin
I'm ok with Crawford unifying or moving up. He's a p4p superstar who's earnt his stripes the hard way.
A guy wins the biggest fight of his career against the #2 of the division in dominating fashion. A week later someone starts saying that he's "ducking" the #3. :think
I saw this guy only vs Cuenca the first time they fought,both of them had good records but against awful opposition. Think that he needs to get some top 10-20 names on his resume before anyone considers him 3rd best at 140.
That would only strengthen my point, i.e. it's stupid to say Crawford is ducking Troyanovsky. He is #3 on boxrec, so #3 isn't unreasonable in my humble opinion. Although his resume does lack quality to be fair ...
And after tools him these same haters would say he ran or was boring and not give him an ounce of credit for the win.
Crawford would get bashed worse than [insert fighter with a TKO streak] for fighting *elterweights if he fought against this guy.
:deal Just like some idiots here are trying to discredit the Postol win. The Bumlovkinite demographiKKK knows no shame...
