Ahhh. yes, figured a certain someone would try to rehash the **** again, but guess what???? If it was simply up to Ring, we would have many less vacant Lineal titles. There are currently 9 vacancies of 17 classes. You can go round and round as we already have and you STILL HAVE NO LEG TO STAND ON. Ring doesnt set the definition of LINEAL CHAMP and at best any process outside of UNIFICATION isnt quantified or tracked so keep :hi: from the merry go round:good PBF wasnt Lineal at 35 and ducked one of the other two titlelists, plain and simple, until said fighter hit REHAB!! By that point it was too late as the guy lost his license on legal problems and went to jail and the fight fell through. Being Ring Champion doesnt equate to LINEAL The above is indicative the type of **** Floyd's pulled at every weight. It would a a VERY NICE STEP, if PBF would face Hatton at 40 then lay it down at 47. It would put speculation to rest and LEAVE FACTUAL and REAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in it's wake:yep The world awaits Hatton at 40 or Floyds first defense of his lineal crown at 47.
You know what? I don't think Floyd enjoys boxing as much nowadays. He seems to be doing a Hagler and fighting once a yr or less. A rusty Floyd against a motivated Hatton.. diplomatic relations could be at an all time low on this board
at 140 PBF might stop Hatton...Hatton would be smart to go up to 147 where PBF has Cory Spinks-like pop...
