    There are some similarities that both are uncomfortable at close range so they solve that problem by clinching.

    Anthony Joshua is poor man’s wlad.
    Lol he is less skilled, more robotic, slower hands, flatfooted . He is very poor version of Wlad.

    They are pretty similar, I made the comparison a while back. Postol goes to the body more but lacks Wlad's power

    No. Lol If Postol had the same “talent level” as Wlad then Crawford would have gotten the Tony Thompson treatment.

    Same sort of Style but with about 1% of the power even relative to weight classes!

    Both fight in a straight up style, both rely on the 1-2 for the bulk of their offense, and both lack a good inside game. They're both white and European.

    But Wlad had the ability to end the fight at a moment's notice. He'd drag that moment out forever and hug/clinch until not only his opponent but also the audience were exhausted, but he did take it eventually.

    No. against their weightclass peers, Wlad held a hand and foot speed advantage
    as well as a technical advantage. Then he lacked any real semblance of durability.

    Postol does not possess a hand or footspeed advantage against his peers, he does
    hold a technical advantage however. Also, he seems to be quite durable.

    Postol is not the 140lb version of Wlad.

    Other than basic physical attributes of being tall and rangy, they're not that similar.

    Well 'getting pasted' by those 'retired nobodies' as you call em certainly didn't do him much harm overall considering he's rich, successful & famous & will probably be inducted into the boxing HOF whilst you're just a nobody on the internet called HerolGee :lol:
