Comments Thread For: Terry Flanagan vs. Jorge Linares is The Goal, Says Frank Warren

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

THE LIGHTWEIGHT division is currently boxing's best weight class. And I would love to see a four-way tournament to decide who is top of the lot. My man and WBO champion Terry Flanagan has a tough fight coming up against Petr Petrov on April 8 in Manchester. But if he comes out on top I want to see him face WBA title holder Jorge Linares.

I haven't seen Flangan fight before but I've seen Linares fight and he's a beast, I won't give a predication until after April 8

Flanagan hasn't fought anyone near the top of the division. He's too busy fighting the Cruz's and Petrov's of the division. Now that the division is taking off (and I do believe it to be one of the most talented in boxing), he wants a shot at the top dogs. He should stand in line for that Linares fight. Garcia-Linares would have priority for me. Flanagan can fight Easter Jr to unify and that would be interesting. It would give a better idea of how people stack up in the division. I think Flanagan is a step below Garcia and Linares.

I suspect Linares has bigger fish to fry. Warren has claimed that Linares is ducking his fighter, but really he's just being paid much better against Crolla and will be against Mikey too. Flanagan's best money fight is probably his #1 challenger, Verdejo, but unfortunately for him it seems that Arum's going to keep the training wheels on Felix for a while longer due to his uninspiring performances of late. So Terry will probably have to content himself with so-so defences like Petrov, maybe Beltran, while he waits for Loma to come and relieve him of his strap

Easter vs Mikey should be done Next. They both want unification fights, well there it is. No excuses. Mikey willing to fight Linares or Flanagan, so Easter shouldn't be a problem.

this is the **** who criticized eddie hearn for having his fighters travel for title fights

Great.. Linares can make that British money in easy fights. Im glad he Is finally getting a break..

Tomato can Crolla rematch is going to be even easier this time and Flanagan is a part time fish n chips worker so that is another gimmie for the Golden Boy.

After Linares takes that easy British money against the cans, hopefully he takes in real challenges like Garcia and Easter

i don't think that fight can happen next,i thought I read last week where it said easter's next fight has to be against his mandatory denis shakivov or whatever his name is,,and I think they have 30 days or it will go to purse bid.

FinitoxDinamita why you have to call Crolla a tomato can, he earned his position and gave Linares a good fight.
Crolla is a decent man, did you here of him chasing a robber who stole from his neighbours house and got his jaw busted with a concrete block prior to his 1st title fight chance.
8 months later he returned to win a world title so give respect to a decent human being.
Regarding Easter he don't look any better than Crolla or Flanagan and so what if Flanagan has worked in a chippy, its called earning a living to keep your family housed and fed, plenty of people do these types of jobs providing a service which people want.
