Originally posted by Gillie View PostI think that Linares could probably have beaten Easter. Also, you are right about GRJ although Loma did also beat and make quit an undefeated Nicholas Walters so some may consider that his biggest win.
The older gentleman was walking me through a history of the same process over and over for Arum fighters. When the Walters v. Loma fight took place, I was a little disgusted because I knew what happened.
Not saying Loma isn't the better fighter (because he is) but I think sometimes we forget how much goes into a fight.
Another example is Gamboa. His career was basically ended by Crawford in a fight that he took on short notice that wasn't even sanctioned. But fans don't talk about those things.

Originally posted by Butch.McRae View PostLinares wasn't much better than Beltran if we're being honest. They have very similar careers.
Beltran is more of a lightweight contender who managed to get a few decent wins very late in his career, probably due to experience, and managed to get a gift win during his title shot against Moses.

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostI can't believe they would rather this fight over a fight with Manny Pacquiao! I understand Manny would be bigger, but he's older and slower, and at 40, he would be dropping down 7lbs.! If you don't like 140, negotiate! How about 138? This walks like it, and talks like it...but there's still hope. Pacquiao vs. Lomachenko! Make it happen!

Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostAs Floyd, Pacquiao, and Mikey Garcia, have already demonstrated, you can go up, make BIG money, and come back to your division! Pacquiao is HOT right now, coming off a KO win. The money is there for the taking! Where are Beltran and Pedraza going? NOWHERE! They'll still be there in the spring! Manny...maybe not!
