Mikey Garcia vs. Jorge Linares.

I don’t think WBO should be considered a major belt. Watching a guy get stripped every month only for a TR fighter to get it in a vacancy fight for decades,,,,it’s not a world title, it’s a Top Rank title.

Frank Warren had them in his pocket and remember Emanuel Steward at the kronk gym own the belt too with his fighters for a time.

Yup, it's one thing to have some politics. But the WBO is all politics. You can look around at who promotes whom and know what will happen. That's not legitimate

Flannagan will join Ricky Burns / Duke McKenzie as undeserving multiple weight belt holders.
None of the above where the best of the best in any division they fought in.
Belt holders not world champions.

Unfortunately that seems the norm for the longest time bud. It's a rotation system at times. Now should Flanagan top a Linares impressively that is beating the real deal though. Forget the trinkets..who'd ya beat.

Burns is up there with Bellew as the ultimate over-achievers.

To be fair to Burns he went the distance with the wonderful Terrance Crawford , that is a better achievement than anything Bellew or McKenzie achieved.

It seems Golden Boy is willing to forgo the multi fight stipulations in the Linares/ Garcia negotiations. At child be getting closer to a deal.
