Pretty much this. He needs a signature win. He has several good wins, but nothing that makes you go...... damn.

Absolutely not.

Who???????????

Probably not but it's possible if he keeps winning. If you look who is in the Hall of Fame some of them weren't that good.

Certainly possible. A lot of good fights are around him that could easily land him in the HoF. They just need to get made.

Future hall of famer? Yeah possibly

Best lightweight of this era or ever? ....... What the hell are you on? He's not even the best LW this year lol

if he managed to unify 135, he'd have a shot

wins over Garcia, Flanagan, easter jr. would look nice...arent all 3 undefeated

I know you're trolling when you say he's the best LW of this era and any other.

First of all, he'd catch a beat down by Mikey and Easter.

Secondly, if you start listing all the great lightweights of all time, Linares would not even make it to top 100. Let alone the best of any era.

He's not even the best LW of his own era. I don't even know how he got to be Ring champ at 135. Who put him there? Was it GBP?

TBRB probably has the better rankings with the championship open, Mikey as #1, and Linares at #2 and even then I still think Barthelemey and Easter are the real top 3.
