Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares Very Interested in Unification With Mikey Garcia

[hitking]

Acceptable alternative?.
This is the biggest fight in the division, Crawford is in 140 and Loma fights in 130, yes, both of them can fight Mickey at lightweight or a catchweight but Linares is already the best name at Lightweight.

If you're a bonafide elite and Linares is the best in your division. You're probably need to look outside of your division to make great fights. Feasting on a bad division is somehow applauded nowadays. But it's not the stuff of legend.

Mikey running around with Linares belt right now so no surprise Linares wants that fight. He got stripped of the WBC title due to a hand injury. Smh

He was not stripped, hes champion in recess in addition the WBC sanctioned the Crolla fight as unification and also ordered Linares vs. Zlat provided that he won the unification vs. Crolla - now that role falls on Garcia.

Big fan of Garcia, but Linares sucks. Not that exciting of a matchup

What are you, a snotnosed noob or something? lol

Actually, I'm the total opposite. I've been a fight fan long enough to remember a day when the best fought the best.and the top fighters that were a division apart, sometimes two divisions apart, were chomping at the bit to fight each other. I also remember a day when the too guys weren't allowed by media and fans to rule over crappy divisions under the sham of wanting to "unify" meaningless paper trinkets. A lot of you so called seasoned fight fans don't remember those days.

[The Big Dunn]

Ummm what? Showtime is already showing Joshua vs Wlad

I don't believe so. I think they haven't decided yet.

You might be right.

We negotiated once when the fight was originally scheduled for December 10th and we were able to resolve it

Maybe that's what I was thinking of?

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

If we can't get Mikey against Lomachenko or Crawford, this is an acceptable alternative.

You shouldnt be expecting MIkey vs a guy below his division nor a Mikey vs a guy above his division.

Mikey vs Linares, Easter Jr are the viable options for him.

You might be right.

Yeah. It will be very interesting to see how high HBO goes.
