    And so many people saw Pacquiao winning against Marquez, including 2 out of the 3 most important observers...the judges. This is a legit win, and no matter what JMM fans think, the name Manny Pacquiao is engraved on the Ring Magazine belt and the WBC belt.

    I dont understand this bull****. Hopkins beat the man who beat the man. Tarver was the recognised number 1 in the division, and only reason he did not have all the belts he took from Roy was due to being stripped etc for fighting the best in the division.

    He is the man at LHW as far as I am concerned.

    It's nothing to do with whether he had all the belts or not. Hopkins isn't linear champion because neither were Tarver or Jones, as explained above.

    None of it means anything to be honest with you. Here is why:when micheal spinks left lt heavyweight to fight as a heavyweight the title was vacate, the title then laid dormaint for many years until Hill who wasnt the lineal champ fought Dm who wasnt the lineal champ fought eachother. Now here is my problem. There are only TWO ways to become lineal champ. ONE is to beat the lineal champ, or TWO UNIFY ALL the belts. Neither was done as a result of Hill vs DM. What happened was they AWARDED the lineal title to DM. Which in itself wouldnt be a problem if it was the policy, and they did that for every fighter that did what DM did by beatting Hill. If it were the case then Wlad would be the lineal heavyweight champ right now.

    The Alphabet Belts mean ****. Hopkins is the Ring Champion and the legit Light Heavyweight Champion.
