    Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares Would Like Terry Flanagan Unification

    BoxingScene.com recently caught up with WBC lightweight champion Jorge Linares (40-3). The Venezuelan was last in action on October 10th when he stopped Ivan Cano (23-7) in four rounds.

    Linares said that he is targeting an early 2016 ring return and revealed that his co-promoters would be sitting down soon to finalize his next fight.

    Unification Would Be Good

    That would be a hell of a fight between Linares and Flanagan. Both guys are extremely skilled and are big time knockout fighters. That would be a interesting style matchup.

    I would like to see Linares more on HBO or Showtime. He's a good talent and deserves more exposure.

      That would be an excellent fight. Those two are the two best fighters at 135 imo.

        He was getting prepped for the big time before his loss to DeMarco.

          Love Linares. That guy has one of the best offensive arsenals I've seen in about 30 years of watching the sport.

              Agreed, one of the most gifted fighters Ive ever seen. So fast, so fluid, unfortunately fragile chin, and skin.

              Wish he fought more and had more exposure again.

              I love the way he slips to the side and throws that uppercut from distance so quickly.

                Flannigan still needs to crack the USA & what better way to achieve it then fighting Linares in the States!

                  Linares is skilled and fun to watch but the truth is he's never been the best guy in any division he's fought in and he has been given shots at vacant titles in three divisions against highly questionable opposition. Would love to see him fight Flanagan
