    Crawford would smash Postol.

    He is too slow, I agree, I think the height and reach may give him probelms though. No sure Pacquiao's speed gives him that much trouble. He handled Gamboa's speed pretty easily. Now true Gamboa's chin has always been a little suspect.

    Right.... lol I have seen all Crawford fights, and he has has never shown the skills you claim he has.

    Which is why you dodged the question.

    Peterson just BARELY beat Diaz last week.

    Crawford would light Peterson up worse than Tim Bradley lit him up years now.

    I think that Craw beats Pac at this point, I simply think Manny provides him with more problems than does Postol.

    One thing I WILL say about Postol, is that he has sneaky power in that right hand that Crawford's gotta be careful of. That, and his solid jab.

    But, I think Craw will figure out Postol by the mid rounds and either stop him late or win a clear UD.

    I'm gonna be say this in ALL HONESTY, I think Crawford is so good that the only guy at 140-147 who I can see him beating him is Errol Spence. And yes, I know, Spence has fought NOBODY yet, but talent-wise he's the only guy capable of pulling it off.

    So yes, I'm saying that I'd pick Crawford over Thurman, Porter, and Brook.

    I didn't dodge the question, gave you the place to go and see it for yourself. When I told you he was setting traps Dulorme, you didn't seem to get the concept. So why waste my time telling you a fight where he show mutliple skill sets. It would be very easy to say go watch the Gamboa, Beltran fights, as he showed the ability to lead, counter. Fought well from both the orthodox and southpaw stances. Showed he can take a punc, and can dish punishment. But I feel saying these things to you would be worthless, as I don't think you understand, even if I was to go and see the time and post that for you. I'm not sure you would even know what you're looking at.

    So much better talking to someone with a head on their shoulders. lol

    I agree he figures out Postol too. Early problems with the height is all I see, I think Crawford really has no trouble with anyone at 140 right now. Pac, maybe the experience. And that straight left is still devastating. I just think that Craw is the truth at 140 at the moment

    Yeah, it's refreshing to have a discussion on here with someone who knows what they're talking about.

    That Melo character is smoking some powerful ****.

    Craw is indeed the best fighter at 140, and I think by a sizable margin.
