    Who do you think would win if this happens? Warren wants the fight and is very confident it'd be a Flanagan win.

    Linares. Terry will make it a more difficult and closer fight than Crolla but ultimately Linares too much class.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Flanagan beat him, two wins over one dollar crolla doesn't mean **** really. Kevin mitchell showed linares is very beatable.

    There is quit in Jorge and none in terry but skill brings Jorge a couple of levels above terry
    Linares points imo

    This is probably the correct answer. Terry is an awkward night's work for anyone and sneakily effective on the counter, but Linares can make you miss and rip off four punch combos before you can blink. Terry is best to try and make it an ugly, inside type of fight (and he has previously shown he can fight dirty when the mood takes him) rather than using his usual counter punching style, which is an approach that Linares is better at.

    You'd have to back linares, however i think it would be a closer fight than the crolla fight

    Mitchell gave Linares hell. People need to remember Crolla is an overachiever with a Gallagher style. Any elite LW (who trains for 12 rounds, Barroso I'm looking at you, you ******ed kunt) schools Crolla.

    As above, Linares in a closer fight than Crolla.

    If I remember rightly for the Mitchell fight Linares had just had akid and didn't take the fight as seriously as should have...

    Linares for sure, but Terry does better than Crolla

    Turbo hasnt really fought anyone yet apart from magdellano who isnt top drawer either. His reign as wbo lw has been uninspiring really and all these defences hes had havnt done him any good at all , infact you could argue that whilst turbo is in the prime of his career his defences which should be bringing his career on have hindered it.

    Michell was unlucky to face linares as I think he was genuinely near best form of his life. Had been living the life for a once (apparently).

    Mitchell himself is a great mover and skilfull. Think linares underestimated him.

    Flanigan the is tough and hard guy but doesn't have many skills .

    Linares should run rings around him . But the stretch could see Flanagan getting more into the fight

    Mitchell in the form he was in when he fought linares would also beat crolla

    I think Turbo wins a close decision
