    I know he keeps in shape between fights
    He always looks good in preparation
    Just don’t get it
    It's an oddity he seems like a true professional, had a few high profile fights. I honestly don't know.

        I don’t disagree that Linares sometimes looks like crap and other times looks a level above but that is the way of all athletes. Fighters usually don’t get that benefit of doubt though. To many fans a fighter is only as good as his worst night.

          He remembers being in great condition weighing 152 lbs the fight night, while Loma 138, these days Vasyl is seasoned LW and should be even more convincing, make the rematch in Japan in 2-3 years just before both retire

            Cano knocking him out took away any remaining luster Linares had.

            Don't care to see him against Lomachenko again.

              Linares was Big vs Loma

              He was 153lbs fight morning,I know this for afact from his own people.That was Linares last harra unless he goes on a rampage. Garcia's management wouldn't let him fight Linares unless he's showing age in the gym

                It’s his punch resistance. He’s a good boxer but when he gets hit he stays hit.

                Shame he’s gonna cash out against that little h*** Garcia.

                  Yes, although he's had some great performances, there's also something not quite there with Linares. Maybe it is his punch resistance, maybe the weight cut takes too much out of him?? Ehatever it is, its just the way he is. A rematch with lomachenko seems unlikely given the present trajectory of their respective careers. Like another poster said, GBP are looking to feed Linares to Garcia so they must feel he's definitely on the downward slide.

                      Too many boxers for Loma: Gary Russell, Linares, Lopez, Tank, Devon, Shakur, Garcia (both of them, if Mikey comes back down), Berchelt, even Campbell wants another shot. Not to mention, Kambiosis (Australian dude), and some others. When? We want Tank, Teo and Shakur and Devon. Then maybe the younger Garcia. Make that Loma's lineup in the next few years. Tank will train the hardest he ever has, so will all the others. Good measuring stick for Loma.
