    I'm looking forward to this fight more than the brook/ggg fight.

    Interesting to hear linares say he thinks Flanagan is a tougher fight.

    Who are you picking and how?

    Great fight. Would be even better if Linares still had his WBC belt.

    Crolla in a come from behind stoppage is an obvious pick. Linares wide UD if he fights smart and doesn't get drawn into a brawl.

    Won't be surprised if Crolla actually pulled it off. Wasn't impressed with the Mitchell bout at all.

    Crolla might pull it off only because Linares cuts so easily..

    Is true. Flanagan beats crolla easily. Eddie hearn knows that, hence why the fight has never been made

    This match has me torn, I'm going back and forth I think Crolla may drop Linares, but eventually Linares' class will show and he'll take over and stop Crolla late.

    Perez is middling and Barroso fought like an idiot, we shouldn't let those matches cloud our judgment here.

    This will come down to who is the tougher, and that is Crolla

    I feel the same way as the poster named CST80. I on the one hand see Crolla as an improved fighter who might well be the best in the division, but I feel as though his last couple of fights he's won have been overstated.

    But, not to be a fence sitter, i'll go with Crolla by a close UD.

    If Crolla wins then he is the Fighter of the Year.

    yeah I like this guy,nice to see someone do well later in their career with no hype machine either,granted his last opponent fought a shocking fight and gassed out but it wouldn't of mattered either way as one was boxing and the other brawling?

    No that would probably go to Frampton.

    The way linares ducked Zlaticanin is shameless, but I'm going with linares the only way Crolla can win for me is through a linares bad cut his the lightweight gabe rosado in that regards
