    In order to be kinda great, doesn't a guy have to beat someone great ?
    Totally agree with your assessment here.

        If a person is a Haney fan, they may elevate Jorge's worth.

          Obviously. Not trying to down anyone but Linares is where he is at for a reason.

            It's Haney's fight to lose

                I made a cheeky little comparison to Gamboa who had only lost by stoppage before Haney.

                I have some bias though cause I am a fan of Linares and not too sold on Haney.

                See it going the distance with a flash knockdown or two at most. Always willing to eat a steaming plate of crow doe.

                  I'm a fan of Linares. I'm hoping for the upset here. I think with Devons lack of a big punch it could make for an interesting fight!

                    At his best he was the poor man's Khan. He's never beaten an elite fighter and has more bad losses than good wins.
