Looks like BladeRunner and I were right

Linares was overrated, untested and nuthugged to a degree which was unacceptable.

Valero will be next to be exposed :deal

Countless posters refused to be budged on Linares,'he's the next Arguello' etc etc

Hozumi's Hook flat out refused to answer ANY of my questions to him. He was a ****in shocking poster.

Anyway, I actually quite liked Linares to start off with, but as is the case constant nuthugging started to make me dislike HIM rather than the nuthugging trolls who say things like 'STFU LINARES IS BEAST' rather than 'well, Linares has decent fundementals but has yet to be tested against an 'Elite' level opponent and as for being a two-weight 'World' champ, well I'm a fan but that's ridiculous'

Anyways, to the trolls :rofl

 

To be fair Salgado is still undefeated, has a fairly decent 'name' on his resume, and is clearly a decent finisher.

I'm not hyping him up as 'the next Chavez' as some people undoubtedly will now (probably some Linares fans who will swear blind they never hyped him) but he looks decent. If Soto is moving up Kevin Mitchell would be a decent first defence to make sure this wasn't a fluke then onto Guerrero for 130lb supremacy.

 

So Linares didn't do anything too spectacular and was hyped to the max. Gets beaten by a guy he's supposed to beat (though they clearly lucked out on Salgado) yet he'll 'come back and win a belt'.

The fact is, belts mean **** ALL nowadays. Opposition is what makes a figther good.

Secondly, this isn't a case of Linares being ****. As previously stated, I liked Linares before the nuthugging turned me against him (unfair as its the rolls who deserve hate not the fighters) but this thread is NOT MEANT TO RUBBISH THE FIGHTER.

it's meant to show the nuthuggers who was right all along. Linares is nothing special.

 

No Linares had a lot of huggers. Soto, barrios and Guzman were hated on by the Linares and Valero huggers due to 'not being in their league' etc etc etc

Valero will be next. Wait and see:deal

 

What the Roy who had won numerous titles over years and beaten the likes of mccallum, Toney and even beaten an average heavyweight?

The comparisons here are not the same mate.

Linares beat a shot Larios and that was it. He won titles at two weigths due to him being a big star in Japan (where larios continued to fight) and getting a shot at an aged fighter and then moving up and getting a shot at a title which is based in his home nation against an opponent (Whyber Garcia) who had been blown away in a round by another fairly unimpressive venezualan Valero.

BigBone, you're a good poster, but Linares was hyped to the max for next to no reason. He had good fundementals but there you go.

I still don't rate Khan that highly and he will never be anything better than decent as he will be matched carefully for the rest of his career.

 

No doubt.

But there is a difference between 'this guy is gonna be top 5 p4p and has no deficiances whatsoever' and 'this guy has some good skills but has some negatives'

As previously said I used to praise Linares. He always showed good fundementals, but for a fighter to be able to call himself a 'two-weight world champ' after beating one half-decent fighter is a disgrace.

You act as if I need a list of fighters that have suffered losses. I can assure you I know my boxing, exactly the reason I got frustrated at people hyping Linares up so much.

I like to look at new prospects and will 'hype' some to a degree, but you have to take the negatives with the positives. Nuthuggers don't do this which is why this loss is so sweet for me.

I'm not hating on the fighter. I have made that clear in previous posts. My favourite fighter of all time Alexis arguello lost by TKO in the 1st round before.........in his debut as a teenager. This is on the back of Linares being hyped to the max and signing a massive contract with Golden Boy.

I think it's humorous. salgado on the other hand has now established himself as a potentially decent fighter, lets hope people don't get too carried away with him:good



P.S; Napoles as stopped on cuts but nerv TKO'd or stopped to my knowledge :good with your obvious udnerstanding of the game you're wasted on this board.

 

You know this Brother:good

As I say, to those who are criticising me for starting this thread, how is it different to the usual **** that gets posted on the general.

At the end of the day, to the nuthuggers; eat some humble pie.

To those that are intelligent enough to weigh up the intangibles, sorry for upsetting you with this thread

I love the fact that 'MattMattMatt' feels he needs to educate me on boxing :rofl
