Why is Linares Hailed as The New Goldenboy?

[iamboxing]

During the Sky broadcast of the Linares vs Crolla fight Adam Smith kept saying he's Oscar's Goldenboy and has the makings of being this era's DLH? Why? He's good, but am I missing something? He wasn't especially good against Crolla who looked atrocious and basic, just moving in a straight line and so so predictable

He was compared to Oscar De La Hoya as a prospect and it's stuck with him throughout his career

His professional nickname was the Golden Boy long before he actually officially signed with Oscar's Golden Boy Promotions.

You gotta cross dress and snort lines before fights to be the golden boy.

Oh ok, and what about the fight? Crolla looked worse than the first fight? Nothing learned nothing gained

There was no reason for a rematch Linares dominated the first fight. I guess they had money to burn paying Linares for the rematch but if you saw the first fight it was clear crolla had no shot.

He has always been El Niņo de oro deal with it!

Do they care about him now? Because they really haven't done much to promote him honestly!
