Crawford vs Linares

[John Locke]

How do you guys think this would go? I see it as a genuine 50-50 fight, but would lean slightly towards Linares.

damn, that's nice match up and could happen with both being HBO now...

I like Crawford, because Linares' chin but it would be a good one.

Yep. If Linares stays disciplined, I see him winning a close, competitive UD.

Great match up. I'm gonna have to go with Crawford though. Still can't get that DeMarco fight out of my memory, smh. I was rooting for Linares big time in that one.

Wow great matchup. I'd take Linares. If, and I know it's a big if, but IF Linares doesn't get stopped, I don't think there is a boxer alive that matches his boxing ability. I've learned to stop picking against chinny people just because they are chinny (just recently I picked Abregu over Ali for that reason, Stevens over N'Dam for that reason). This time I'm just going on who I think is better and that is Linares.

Crawford KO's Linares in 5

Love watching Linares fight, blazing hand speed and really sharp combinations. But he is fragile and Crawford has shown an impressive inside game and I think he would get to him late. Don't think it happens though as Crawford is moving to 140 after the Beltran fight.

Nothing against Linares, I like the way he fights but I think once Crawford figures out his speed and movement. Crawford stops him in the middle rounds.
