Jorge Linares : ATG?

**Silencers** · 05-05-2008, 10:58 AM

Too early to say but he is a very, very good fighter.

it all depends how well GBP handles him. I think he has all the tools needed to become an all time great. i think he can beat manny pacquiao now. he's a faster, younger and more offensive Juan Manuel Marquez.

I have alot of time for this guy, he throws the quickest combos i've seen.

Currently one of the greatest talents in world boxing. He has the potential to become an ATG.

That's bold, but he does look like a great talent. I'm not sure he'd even beat Robert Guerrero at this point though.

Really? You should watch more of his fights.

Very early to say this, but this kid has something special that I have not seen in a fighter in a long time. I don't know what it is, but he just seems to have that special something.

Reminds me of a young Roberto Duran. I am calling it right now, Jorge Linares will be talked about as an ATG at the end of his career.

He does remind me a bit of a young Duran. He is indeed special, and will continue to improve and become a great champion.

Because he beat Oscar Larios and Gamaliel Diaz?

Don't be so sensational.

He has the talent to be something special. He certainly has the look of a champion, but he is still too young to be called an all-time great.

What makes you think he'd beat Guerrero? A fighter who has fought better competition and is certainly as physically talented, maybe more so, than Linares?

Which Linares fights should I watch? I have seen each of his last three fights and he has certainly looked spectacular in those victories.

So educate me. Why does he beat Guerrero and which Linares fights that I have missed should I watch?
