importance of the linel championship

championship is only worth as much as the competition.

 

Sometimes it means a lot, sometimes it looks better on paper than it really is.

George Foreman became the lineal champion in 1994, and stayed that way by facing fringe contenders until being robbed against Shannon Briggs.

Michael Spinks was the linear HW champ when he fought Mike Tyson, but Tyson was the one who was facing better opposition. Tyson was the active fighter cleaning out the division.

Ali holding it 3 times is overrated, since it involved him losing to a guy with 7 pro fights. Mind you he was a shot fighter about a dozen years past his prime, but for all the great achievements Ali has, holding it that 3rd time doesn't really rank high up there.

 

I agree with the OP Being 37 and Lineal at 147 and 154 is outstanding.

 

Mayweather has also achieved the feat(SFW, LW, WW, JMW).

 

PBF did that at 130 135 147 and 154.:deal

 

Manny Pacquiao did. However, your post said that Pacquiao is the only fighter to have done it. That's not true anymore. Two fighters have done it.

 

Who is Lineal now and who is on the comeback trail,just saying.

 

Yes he has. Unless of course you're going to make a subjective argument that he didn't.

 

Mayweather has lineal titles at 130, 135, 147 and 154

sorry to bust your bubble

 

And done it without beating the main men in both those divisionsatsch

Lineage means **** in this day and age.

 

Mayweather won the lineal title at WW when he beat Baldo
