    Just read on B Scene that Imir Imam is fighting Fernando Angulo and the winner is mandatory for the winner of Lucas and Postol for the title. Imir is about to ascend to the throne. I think he beats Lucas or Postol, then the super fight will be him and Crawford. Hate all you want but the young man is about to light up the 140 division.

    We'll see, I think Iman has good defense, movement, and an amazing jab, but his defense isn't tested against a Matthyse caliber guy. Hope he gets those big fights.

    Yeah, Lucas is a handful but I think that Imir is up for the task. Same with Ali and Liston. The fighter stepping up is always considered to raw until he proves otherwise. I think his defense is up to par, it's his chin that needs to stand up. Lucas has a good chin and it will get tested also.

    Dont want to see him against crawford anytime soon, it's way too early to get thrown in with a monster like crawford. He should fight the Lucas, Ruslan, Peterson, Garcia's of the world first.

    His glass jaw will be exposed once again, but he'll end up winning on points.

    I would pick Matthysse and Ruslan to brutally KO Terence.

    Am I supposed to be surprised? You'd pick Matthyse and Ruslan to beat Floyd too.

    Crawford schools them both on the same night.

    Imam really doesn't beat either Postol or Matthysse. He probably has the worst time-out against Postol, though. Matthysse is too much for him, but I think he might be able to make a fight out of it. Still, not a bad fight. I just wish Matthysse/Crawford was made so Matthysse could KO him and then unify with Postol.

    Exactly, but you gotta ask yourself, if he can beat Lucas then Crawford is not a far stretch although I don't want to see that fight until they both can clear out their portion of 140. Amir won't be at 140 no more than a couple of years. He's 5' 10".5 and you know he is gonna fill out.

    Nah, crawford is on a whole different level than Lucas, and their styles are completely different. Crawford is the future #1 p4p in my opinion.

    His IQ, and his adaption of skills. Truly top notch. And he's just as effective as a southpaw, which is part of his superb ability to adapt. The way he switches up and throws opponents off their game is truly a treat to watch.
