I mean I feel you on that but is that enough for you to wish him to get knocked out? I'm just saying. And I kind of agree with you and he should just build his own legacy on his own instead of trying to use such a huge name to get noticed. I mean those are just 'too big' shoes for anyone to try to fill.

Combination of being a Linares fan and wanting him to smack that cheesy ass Ali wannabe back to reality. He needs to be himself instead of looking like he went to a Halloween party and forgot to drop the role.

"How many lives does Linares have?", asked the cat.

That cat’s right to ask, too. I used to really rate Linares and he’s definitely got skills, but Jesus, the definition of an eye test fighter.

That he is (and a lot of boxers are) straight in for eliminators off a loss is one of the things that stinks most about boxing. He’s had 6 of them now; by rights, he should be a string of victories away from contention, not 1

I remember when I thought he was done after the DeMarco fight! lol Then after Cano.. re lol The man has skills, skills that pay his bills, but still.. he also has connections.

re: 'connection' - nail on the proverbial head. These contenders seem to be contenders forever...
