What stopped Linares from being great?

Had the handspeed. Good power could throw every punch. But when he stepped up in comp, he could never really get over the hump.

Why is that?

his defense and chin

i truly think linares was an above average boxer who had brilliant performances at times..but when he got caught or cut it was a wrap for sometimes..his losses are brutal for the level of fighter he is

Truthfully, he needed someone like Manny Steward/Ronnie Shields to tweak his defense & positioning. I remember when he fought Larios you could tell Manny wanted to train him

that larios fight linares gave him a brain bleed..linares was quality...he was the first person to really shake up haney...was giving lomachenko all types of fits and dropped him clean before getting stopped

Truth! Linares was one of my favorite fighters to watch. If he had a Black trainer sooner to tweak some things & teach him some more nuance to his technique offensive/defensively, we might've seen a different career with less terrible L's

He fought a twitchy urban style & needed a trainer to hone that
