    What ya'll think? Linares has nothing lined up that I know of and Broner is looking for a decent fight after Escobedo to settle in to lightweight.

    Would be a good tune up for Gamboa next summer :bbb

    But I think Team Haymon would want someone that would get him ready to take on guys like Gamboa. Linares would be great and would most likely fold up the first big shot Broner lands.

    Make it happen Oscar and Al :twisted:

    This. If he wants to be regarded as the best, he has to fight- and beat- quality opponents. Not just talk loads of **** and showboat against cans.

    Why is everyone talking about Gamboa or Broner is this a done deal or something?

    I will leave it up to Al but at least in his 2nd fight he probably needs to fight someone in the top 10 maybe his first

    Not that they are going to fight any time soon, but he probably won't face Gamboa unless a world title is involved.

    Something neither of them have right now at LW.

    Unless it was an eliminator, but I don't see that happening.

    Demarco does not get him ready for Gamboa. A tall southpaw, Gamboa is not.

    Well he is the Can Man.

    So far other than De Leon he has earned the right to be called the Can Man as he fights mostly tomato cans.

    People need to pressure him to step up like they do Canelo.
