    I think khan beats Loma. Too much size and range and speed.

    Linares hasn’t shown that skill dominance’s to as good comp as Khan. I mean watch khan vs Judah, Alexander, malignaggi - he looked like 2 levels above those guys when the competition was strictly boxing and not enough power. Do you think linares could do that to those guys? And if he can, why hasn’t he? Those are much bigger names than Thompson, Campbell and crolla.

    Linares is a poor mans khan, except instead of weak chin he has weak skin.

    I love both fighters styles. I watched linares vs demarco 6 times because it was such an amazing display of flashy skills. But I feel like a lot of what linares does is more work than it should have been. Kinda like a goalkeeper doing magnificent dives to catch the ball when he doesn’t need to, he could just stood there and reached out his hands to catch the ball, unnecessary flash. But it’s beautiful to watch.

    I'd totally watch it. I'll take Linares by UD or late KO. Linares is a far better boxer and Khan is no more durable. Khan's speed advantage is negligible. He'll have an as yet undetermined size advantage and that's it.

    Laugh out loud level of trolling or delusion you Bradford freak.

    Lomachenko has more abilty in his little toe than Khan! His career has been the complete opposite of your multi flawed comedy act bum. Khan doesn't even deserve to be in the same sentence as him lol.And Linares has 10 times the ability and achievements of Mr Love affair with the canvas.

    This. Khan even now would box circles around Linares. Khan does everything better than Linares while being twice the athlete.

    Somehow you never learned that styles makes fights.

    Khan is not th first great point scorer who has no chin, put them up against fighters without a huge punch and they’re superman. Khan’s dominance over Alexander, Judah shows just how good he was when he was on.

    Name me a time when Khan was genuinely outpointed? Do you think Linares would have dominated Judah or Alexander as bad or even beat them?
