Comments Thread For: Jorge Linares: Vasyl Lomachenko is Not Impossible To Beat!

[GreenTeaBag]

Yes Jorge being the first person to have sex on Mars is not impossible dream either. Just need years of training, experience and multi trillion dollars.

He would be the smaller man against all the 135 champions so it would be interesting to see. But i rather he try his best to unify at 130 he just moved up from 126.

If he stays at 130 he has to rematch salido IMO. A win over Mikey or Linares trumps any win at 130 including salido. Both those guys are 3x division world Champs and elite talents. P4P will depend on what everyone else on that list do in the near future. But he'd be legit number 1 p4p consideration.

Couldn't agree more. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next year.

Loma fighting in August next but I think Salido will be ready by then.

I can't see you doing it Linares. Skills pay the bills and his bills are a little bit more expensive.

[Boxing Logic]

If Top Rank is smart, do Linares at 135 in the summer, Salido rematch at whatever weight works the fall, then Mikey Garcia soon thereafter. Flanagan is a fight no one wants to see. Berchelt or Corrales are okay but there are better fights at 135 if Loma can handle the weight. Linares is a great matchup.

But NOBODY has ever out skilled linares. Based purely on skills p4p linares is one of if not the most skilled fighter in all of boxing. His issues when he lost all those years ago were not about skills it was about his face not holding up to big punchers and that was over 5 years ago. Linares is much better today and loma is not even a big puncher at 130. So you expect me to believe he will be one at 135? And if he can't knockout linares that fight is 50/50 for a decision.

Linares is bigger, longer, stronger and just as fast with a extremely high work rate. And loma is very hitable. Loma ain't even prove himself against the best at 130 and linares is bigger and better then all those guys. Mikey kills loma at 135 and linares might beat him as well.

Mikey would knock Lomachenko out. Linares would be hitting air all night. It's not enough to only have speed you need to have the experience against real slicksters.

Easy to look like a slickster against 5'5 small bums like sosa who is not even a top fighter at 130. Much harder to look slick against a bigger and one of the most skilled fighters in all of boxing. NOBODY has made Linares hit air all night or come close to ouboxing him but sure OK thats easy to do. LMAO I bet you thought Salido was going to be an easy fight too?

And linares with 45 pro fights and having won titles in 3 different weight classes is not experienced? He's more experienced then loma already faced numerous styles and doesn't have to adjust to new weight.
