I remember a few guys on here (CST80, lepinthehood) holding "Turbo" Terry in high regards in the past. Well, what is he doing now? 135 is picking up steam and he is fighting guys with 38-9 records. He now has Mikey Garcia problems, Robert Easter Jr. problems, Richard Commey problems, Rances Barthalemy, Anthony Crolla, Felix Verdejo, Luke Campbell...
I've always looked at Flanagan as the weakest link in the division, whoever it is that he fights next whether it's Mikey, a unification against Easter, Linares, or dejan... his ass is grassed! I look for him to continue to pad his record against domestic fighters until he's forced to fight world class level boxers, which he will lose to!.
Let them come to the UK, i didnt say terry was unbeatable, but he would certianly beat a few of the names you listed. Mickey garcia would get tore up, dejan would get boxed from distance, campbell & crolla outworked and overwhelmed. Id give commey the best chance to beat flanagan. barthelemy vs flanagan is 50/50
Flangan had agreed to come to America to fight Verejado on the Pacquiao undercard. And also the biggest fights available to him- Crolla and Linares- would take place in the UK so he's not exactly hiding
Thanks for that boxing expert but I've followed Flangan's career for a lot longer than you so I'll make my own mind up.
