Thread: The GoldenBoy Jorge Linares

The most exciting, pure boxer along with Roman Gonzalez..

Love watching this kid, shame that he has his frailties or he'd have gone a very, very long way.

I was a big fan of Linares but lost some fights when he should not have. All the talent but maybe not the skin.

I like him even more because of his vulnerablity. He could fight a perfect fight then booom, he gets hit with something big and the momentum changes.. U just never know what will happen in his fights which makes it so thrilling.

It would be nice if he had punch resistance but then it wouldn't be fair to other fighters. He would be invincible.. How are technically challenged bums like Rios supposed to compete with that? lol

I can watch this guy fight all day, his style is so fluid .. He has almost everything I expect to see in a boxer.. He's so fuckin good.

Skillwise, he's on that level with the Marquez, Finito, and Ray Leonard

I thought this one was well on his way to greatness. Linares oozed natural ability.

I remember thinking he looked like he'd be unstoppable as well, never know huh. It's a shame he's a little bigger than Johnny Gonzales as those two have so much in common at this point, two of the best offensive fighters in the sport with off buttons
