    People dont seem to realize how hard this is! Everybody thinks it could be easier these days because the weight classes are closer then back 40-50 years ago but nobody seems to do this.

    Mayweather is truly an ATG and is the only one right now that is active and if he goes for Cotto that would be 3 at the same time which I dont seeing EVER HAPPenING AGAIN! People like to always put down Mayweather but hes doing things that some fighters will never do again possibly.

    So who u think can be the next 2 lineal champ simultaneously. Honestly theres not even 6 lineal champs alone RIGHT NOW!!! if u think of current champions now. Garcia cant beat Mayweather.Stevenson anit going to Crusier weight, Nobody lineal at 126 so Rigo cant as of right nowe. Cotto wont go to 168 and wont fight Mayweather at 154.

    I guess the only one is Ward, i think he can go to LHW and beat Stevenson.

    for future reference. Canelo might be able to at 160-168 years down the line. and possibly the little guys in Lomo,Rigo,Mikey. once there become champs

    Not even being a dickrider, but I think Loma can have the 126, 130, and 135 title. He shud fight juanma next, if he gets past Vargas, and collect that title.

    So lineal catchweight champ counts? Wonder if the champ ever defends that belt, whether another catchweight is due

    Yeah, as long neither fighter was over the division limit, it counts. That's how it works in boxing.

    Yes it does and has for years. all the way back to SRL. Plus Mayweather was already the man when he beat Cotto at 154, made it truly offical when he beat Canelo

    I think he can collect titles for sure but i wonder if he can become Lineal champ? Theres no lineal champ in any of those weight classes, thats the problem

    I find lineal to be an arbitrary word. I don't think Floyd beat the best guy at 47 to be considered, legitimately, the lineal champ in two divisions. I think Loma would be the guy at 126 30 35, just like Floyd is at 47 54, but he certainly didn't beat, outside of himself, the top guy at 47.

    Lineal championships mean about as much as any belt from any four of the organisations , lineal doesn't mean your th best in the divison

    Mosley was the man when he Beat Margarito. I do think Margarito cheated against Cotto but Margarito was still champ and Mosley destroyed him so yes Mayweather is the Man at 147.

    Wether u think that the fighter that holds the lineal title isnt the best fighter, HE IS THE CHAMP AT THE WEIGHT PLAIN AND SIMPLE!! People can say GGG is a better MW and there probably right but Cotto is the man now plain and simple

    Pacquiao had the shot to fight Mosley for the lineal title but chose Cotto nistead so Pacquiao ducked Mosley when he was lineal champ. mayweather fought him and picked it up and hasnt lost it. Shamce on pacquiao for ducking Mosley, all that we'll fight at 143 crap and Mosley had fought at 154 before :patsch:patsch
