    That's more than a fair fight, lots of respect if he chooses Linares as a first fight. Tank vs Loma is going to be THE fight to make, hopefully within the next couple of years, absolutely no more than 3 years.

    He has legit dynamite. Tank vs Mikey as a future fight as well, can't wait to see these guys face each other

    I like to see the Mikey fight, too, maybe later in 2020 at 140.

      Who's really a star in boxing now? Fuck their fame.

      All our good fighters aren't fighting each other and instead fighting mismatches like Crolla 100-1. Disgusting right?

        That'd be good, to see how Davis handles Easter. Teofimo Lopez would be the one I want the most for Davis later this year. I'm hoping promotional shit doesn't prevent that if Davis moves up this year. Easter then Lopez. Nice fights.

UFC the best fight the best or they get cut, simple as (with few exceptions, but even when not facing number one contenders they face legit opposition - barring a few example like Lesnar getting a title shot and Bisping cherrypicking)
          I completely agree. Great post.

          Sometimes I almost give up on boxing with the marination and network divides and crap like that. It's frustrating. Best isn't fighting best.

            Linares career is going to be over after this fight.

              At 135 I think it's 50/50. Loma Vs Mikey that is.

              140 is 60/40 Mikey imo. (BS fractions but just a guess)

                you're picking apart Linares resume. Have u seen tank’s, tank was a 1000-1 favorite in his last fight. So disgusting.

                    Mikey-Loma fight will never happen. At 130, Loma would have had a chance, anything beyond that it's a guaranteed loss for Loma. Mikey is a seasoned, skilled, big lightweight.

                      Some here seem to think highly of Linares. I know he was KOed in his last fight, but it's not like that was his first time, he was KOed before by pedestrians as well.

                      Is that an OK fight to enter lightweight for Davis?
                      Linares got koed twice in his last 3 fights...

                      So depending on what is acceptable...
