Crawford ducking Postol is the same as GGG ducking Lara. They both don't bring FANS.

    Negative, it is no where near the same.

    Crawford and Postol are in the same division and it would pit number 1 v number 2 against each other.

    Golovkin fights at 160 and Lara fights at 154 in the ring and 160 on twitter.

    Um No:blood

    Postol and Crawford are the top 2 guys in the division, if he wants to prove he's the best, Prove it.

    Lara is just a loudmouthed JMW trying to get people to pay attention to him, and doesn't have even close to a legit chance at an upset. And Lara knows that.

    It's actually more like Frampton refusing to fight Rigondeaux.


    Crawford is scared Postol will have a style that will trouble him, thus far Bud has feasted on fighters who bring the pressure, Postol will not do that, Crawford will have to press the fight to get the win, and Crawford is no pressure fighter.

    :nod Exactly.

    The reality is aside from Gamboa a 3 foot tall Featherweight Crawford's actual resume is pretty average.

    Why would GGG duck someone who has a girl name?

    That's not what Floyd thought the boxing world.
    His teachings are more like, if you don't want to fight an opponent, accuse him of being a cheater and just don't fight him. Never fight your mandatory unless it fits your agenda. Always have home advantage and your own referee. A O is more important as a attractive fight style. If you can't stand the heat, just run out of the kitchen. Better to be a rich coward as a poor brave dude. If you have the fanbase for it ridiculously overprice your PPV's. Feed your fans oneliners to repeat over and over again, to cover up your obvious bull.

    That's Floydweathher teachings in a nutshell.

    He's not a challenger he's a champion who hasn't made a title defense yet.

    lol..i love the ggg fanboys

    apparently nobody is allowed, or has to, move into other divisions....once yer in a division you stay there for your entire career according to the ggg joyboys

    "why on earth would ggg fight the top ranked fighter from 154 when theres a #12 ranked 160lb fighter....you guys are nuts"!!!

    Or "Why on earth would Lara stay at 154 and make zero offers to Golovkin if he had any intention of fighting him?"

    Well - without accepting the 'ducking' appellation - the thrust of your point is largely correct - neither opponent brings much to the table in terms of fans and money. The difference, of course, is that Postol brings a title in Crawfords weightclass.

    However, given that Crawford and Postol are in negotiations and Golovkin is fighting a mandatory before pursuing his own mandatory shot at the WBC / lineal MW champ any point you may have had is largely irrelevant.

    Crawford isn't ducking Postol nor is he scared. What complete nonsense. Doesn't surprise me that this negative talk is coming just as Crawford is rising through the ranks. He's a threat now and that makes some folks uncomfortable.
    Also this doesn't change the fact that GGG has yet to step up, so nice try.
