    What tier is he i.e is he better than Lamont Peterson, is he better than Danny Garcia? Who do you see him beating in the division?

    I never heard of this guy before but I saw two posters say he'd beat Danny Garcia, but I don't know how credible they are as posters.

    I watched the 57 second highlight by HBO, he got rocked but finished well later on.

    5'11 for a junior welterweight is huge, the best way I can describe him as is a mini Klitschko.

    i was surprised he kncoked out aydin. i wasn't really paying attention to their fight as the first few rounds was boring and Postol looked light the fighter who fought in PAC bradley 2 card. the one with no power that Jessie Vargas decisioned

    He's definitely top 10 LWW.....but can't place him in the top 5 until we see him in there with someone of slightly greater relevance like someone else in the top 10.:think

    Yeah, knocking out Aydin is a really big way to make a statement.

    Being the first to stop aydin was meaningful, and his combination punching was amazing even though aydin was throwing nothing. That being said he was visibly shook a few times and really hurt by a few body shots. Feel like someone with more power could seriously trouble him
