    Listen tranny the cream always rises to the top. TTT dominating the hype jobs at 140 is going to be glorious.

    Nah, I think Usyk will win and by stoppage. Tony has always had issues with southpaws and volume punchers, he lost to Stevenson, who Usyk is far superior to skillwise and harder to hit clean, also before Makabu got greedy and put himself in harm's way going for a KO, Bellew got dropped hard and was losing the fight, and add to that he struggled with and barely beat Bob Ajisafe who dropped him, also a southpaw.

    Usyk would have destroyed all of Bellew's recent notable wins as well. Bellew will be beaten in decisive fashion.

    So your point is that Postol 2 fights later and less than 2 years after losing to crawford was old and on a bad run with only one loss in his career. So you probably don't rate the win Crawford has over Postol then?
    You also have to factor that many consider it as Crawfords best win and it was only Taylor's 13th fight to Crawfords 29th.
    It was impressive for someone's 13th fight.
    I'm not sure what bothers you about it?

    I said when it started Taylor, and I'm sticking to my guns. Prograis' southpaw stance might give Josh some issues momentarily, but he''ll figure him out fairly quickly and win a close but clear decision.

    Not sure, I avoid gambling sites, don't like letting them cloud my judgment, but he probably is, by a hair.

    Crawford's win over Postol was far better. Postol was coming off a career defining win against Matthyse and was 32. Taylor fought a Postol who lost a **** load of confidence getting humiliated by Crawford and then getting a gift in his next fight. Do you believe that Taylor beating a Postol that already got destroyed by Crawford and was 2 years older is the same? Lmao. Clown. We also have to factor in the performance. Crawford made Postol look like an absolute amateur, Taylor made Postol look like a great fighter.

    His performance wasn't impressive at all. It would be impressive if he at least kept up with expectations which was to beat Postol easily. No one thought this fight would be competitive. Taylor's team picked Postol because Crawford humiliated him and he looked dog **** in the fight after.

    You realise the argument you're using to discredit Taylor's win against Postol, can be used to discredit Postol's win against Matthyse and, in turn, discredit Crawford? If Postol is old and past-it two years after losing to Crawford then Matthyse is surely old and past-it when he loses to Postol two years after losing to Garcia (the last guy before Crawford to dominate that division)?

    My best guess is that you're just upset that Taylor getting credit for beating Postol somehow diminishes the achievement of Crawford.

    As for them 'picking him'. It was a final eliminator - making Taylor the mandatory for Jose Ramirez' title before the WBSS started. He won virtually every round on the scorecards and beat him in a manner Crawford (who is one of my favourite boxers) chose not to.

    Calm down
    I agree Crawfords win was better.
    He beat Postol when he was an undefeated champ. It's you who has often argued these things with me.
    The point I made was that it was impressive for Taylor's 13th fight.
    Crawford had been at world level for a while and fighting postol in nearly 30 fights was his big fight whereas Taylor fought Postol in his 13th fight.
    I don't think Postol suddenly aged that much more in only one fight and under 2 years. Do you really?
