    Flanagan should fight one of these guys next. I have both beating him quite easily, though I do give Flanagan a better chance against Linares due to his glass skin.

    Why should he fight them next? To appease a troll like you.

    Linares is out with injury, and has a mandatory with Zlaticannin waiting. What can Flanagan do in the meantime?

    Nobody cares about Barthlemey. He's a dull fighter, and will just end up stinking the joint out probably lose on points, but make the 12 fans who also rave about the likes of Abril & Vazquez say he was robbed. :|

    What he should do, is what would make him the most money and what most fans would want, and one that would likely be the best action fight.

    That is fight Anthony Crolla (if he beats Barroso) and unify the WBA and WBO titles. Crolla and Flanagan are both from Manchester, and even went to the same school. One is a City fan, one is a Utd fight. And would be a cracking event in Manchester with a cracking atmosphere and another big night of boxing delivered from the Mecca of boxing the UK.

    Crolla Flanagan is the big one but Flanagan has time for another defence. Wazza talking rubbish saying he can't understand why Crolla doesn't vacate. Linares should be back by Summer then Crolla Flanagan later in the year

    He has no idea who wins because the British hating troll has never watched a Flanagan fight being he's never been on HBO or Showtime.

    His history on this forum is under his last alt he claimed Porter would destroy Brook in the most one sided title fight in history, based on their levels of US TV hype, and only learning what Brook actually looked like, let alone what time of fighter he was on fight night. He then alted up through a series of proxies and claimed roberry. Oh dear.

    Throughout this alt he's called many British fighters who have won world titles bums beforehand and shamelessly predicted the outcome of their fights incorrectly. From Fury to Haskins to DeGale to McDonnell to Smith to Quigg to Saunders to Frampton to Crolla to Selby and now Flanagan.

    He has based his prediction on Linares and Barthlemey being ranked ahead of him on boxrec. The only reason he knows Linares is prone to cuts is because it happened on a hyped HBO show.

    He is the poster boy for DKSAB. Don't ask him to break down the fights

    Can't fight Linares in the Summer. Linares is injured and must fight his mandatory next. And might not even beat him.

    If we cant we Flannegan v Crolla then Liam Walsh would be a good fight for the fans.

    Flanagan vs Linares would be a real *******. The winner of this would be the king of the division. I suspect it would not be easy for either. In my opinion Flanagan definately has the tools to beat Linares, but it Linares would have to be slight favorite.
