In his case Stevenson had not fought anybody credible in more than 2 years before being stripped of the Lineal title. And rightfully so.
So the lineal belt CAN be stripped from you? First time I hear that. I never said he doesn't have the lineal title, do you even read what I post?
So what belt are you referring to about Stevenson being stripped? If it's not the lineal title which is it, because he's still the WBC champ?
Nothing to do with GGG. I don't believe Ring's belt is universally recognized by everybody as the lineal belt.
