>>> There is nothing extrodinary about KO'ing Linares...

[New England]

naturally smaller guy in his 3rd weight class, 12th fight, comes off of the deck to get a knockout of a naturally bigger guy and the lineal champion of the division? nothing extroardinary here


is he muhammad ali?
no. is 135 about as high as i expect him to go. yeah. he looked much more limited at 135.


but is he the best p4p fighter in the world right now? yeah. with a bullet he is. that guy can f#cking fight.

[xhiddenx87]

1st fight at his third division, going with the number one guy at the division(he had 6 title defenses already, and that counts). At his 12th fight. Lol yeah hater is your second name.

Its not about linares, its about Lomachenko's feat.

[Illmatic94]

He didn't KO him.. He made him quit. Even more impressive. It was a subtle No Mas. Linares was up before ten but didnt want anymore. I count this as another quit job. That's FIVE in a row. Unheard of.

[nacho daddy]

True. Though I still have him as #1 p4p. People are making WAY too much about Linares.

but if Floyd beat linares in his 12th fight and was much smaller then him it would be a historic event for you

[uppercut510]

it was a good win but nothing to go crazy about as some are, Loma is a very good fighter point blank period

You are right. It was yet another No Mas. Linares simply tried to make it seem like the ref’s fault.

Who has Horn fought apart from a shot Pacman? Certainly no one of Linares' calibre

Not that much agreed.

I never said Horn is a better win than Linares, I said he's not that worse/worse.

Horn beating Pacquiao is better than Linares having been KO'ed three times prior to this weekend...

Last one being 6 years ago, and then being undefeated and the 135 number 1-2 since? Why did Mikey duck him the last couple years?

The fact remains. Linares has been KO'ed three times prior to this weekand -AND- there is nothing on his resume better than Horn beating a "shot" Pacquiao.

If Crawford looks good against Horn then he's the PFP #1 without question. Despite what the Lomatards think, losses COUNT and Crawford is *undefeated*...
