Jorge Linares is not an elite fighter or an A level fighter. He's not even Shawn Porter Level.

I don't think so. I'm not impressed with any of their opponents.

 

Making comments like that suggests that you are trying to equate Domestic level guys like Crolla, and Campbell to Diaz, Postol, or Indongo. I've been critical of both Lomachenko's and Crawford's resumes, but Linares resume is trash. It's not even an Ottke or Sturm level resume, and no way in hell is it near the resumes of Loma and Bud

 

Are Diaz, Postol, or Indongo better than Crolla and Campbell? In what way? Are they even as good as Crolla and Campbell? Diaz has never held a title. Postol has no title defenses and Indongo has managed 1, over the same Ricky Burns that Crolla just beat. Crolla himself has two title defenses, one more than the three stooges you listed combined. If they can capture a world title, they are necessarily by definition world class. Diaz and Campbell have not captured titles and can therefore be considered domestic level fighters. But the others are all from the lowest level of beltholders. They can pick one up off of a lucky night or a weak champ but then they can't defend it. They are worldclass, but just barely, and though they belong in the top ten of a division they aren't anything like elite.

Meanwhile, Terence Crawford is in his third division and Jorge Linares is in his third division. Terence Crawford is a victor of ten title fights and Jorge Linares is a victor of ten title fights.

 

Only a weight class difference. Indongo would whoop Crolla's arse. Maybe we will get to see in the future. I saw what DeMarco did to Linares. I never considered DeMarco more than a solid top 10 guy. Those two scrubs you are touting weren't up to the task. They just aren't very good period. I don't see what you see in them. I'm not even touting Indongo, Postol, or Diaz like that. They'd own those two though.
