    Who wins these matchups at all of the stated weights?

    LOL. Is this a serious question?

    Marquez ices that glass cannon at any weight.

    JMM should win but Linares (yes, I am an appreciator) would be competitive.

    He'd be competitive right up until Marquez lands a flush right cross.

    Linares is trash. Guy went life and death with Kevin Mitchell.

    Kevin Mitchell was good when he was up for it

    That's a ridiculous remark.

    I don't literally mean he was a bum, but I do believe he was always GROSSLY overrated. And he's far too fragile to have any chance against Marquez.

    Marquez by KO, Marquez by KO, and by Marquez KO. JMM would kick Linares' ass at any weight.

    A decent, solid guy. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I honestly think it would have been a fun, highly skilled chess match in the first half, until JMM adapts to Linares' speed and figures him out, eventually stopping him with brutal right hands and counters. As talented as Jorge Linares was he never had the full package to help him be a greater fighter. Fragile, bad chin, and defensive flaws really held him back from reaching his full potential.

    Ranked the #1 lightweight in the entire world by TBRB and #3 by RING.

    I guess that "decent" means something different to the kids these days.

    I like this fight and I like Linares too. I think this would be a very decent scrap - I think Marquez would win but it would be competitive, I'm sure.

    marquez stops him.as the above posts say,linares not complete enough.
    possibility for linares to last 12 by throwing serious leather too,is very small imo
