I know he got Knocked out and is @130, but can he compete with Gamboa and Lopez? Eventually they will move up to 130 and Linares might be champ when that happens. Linares what is your take on him?
I think he can beat anyone at 130, the man obviously has incredible skills. Only time will tell if his KO loss was a one off, or the signal of a real problem with his chin.
he has better pure boxing skills than both of them no doubt about it. his chin is shaky, but of course so is both gamboa's and lopez's. I wouldn't write him off
