    What's the best fight out there for Jorge Linares?

    And when I mean "the best", I mean, which is the fight that will test Linares, but also excite the casual fans. These are the top dogs of the Featherweight Division. Which out of these 4, would create the most noise?



    1. ROBERT GUERRERO
    22-1-1 (15)



    2. CHRIS JOHN
    41-0-1 (22)

    3. JORGE SOLIS

      GUERRERO would create the most noise, especially if Linares won in an impressive fashion (Dominating the late rounds or via late TKO would be my pick);

      However Chris John would be the tougher fight, & would put it 50/50 at this point in Linares career.

      John's pretty under-rated in the mainstream, due to him never leaving his comfort zone & his dubious decision over JMM, but he did make it close enough to be questionable, & is a pretty damn good fighter.

      Getting him to ever fight out of Indonesia might be a problem, but think it would be a hell of fight if made..

        has John ever said why he doesnt fight outside of his area?

          I would like to see Juan Manuel Lopez fight Chris John , I think The Ghost is a good fit on Linares resume. Or JORGE SOLIS to compare with Pacman.

            Guerrero would make the most noise, but I really don't think any of these guys could beat him.

              Linares is a special fighter. The skills he currently posseses normally are attained further down in one's career, yet he fights as if he is a seasoned veteran. An impressive win over Robert Guerrero would certainly accelerate him to the platue of which he is destined.

                I would love to see him fight with Guerrero. Linares seems a special fighter in many ways. If he conviningly beat Guerrero, he would not only confirm it but also start making a name for himself among non-hardcore fans.
